| Summary / Abstract (Note) | The article is a first attempt to systematically assess the impact of leaks on Israeli decision-making. Five major cases were studied on three levels: whether leaks affected the process, policies adopted, and outcomes. Leaks had a strong impact in two cases, but not on the policies adopted, or outcomes, in any of the cases analyzed. As a tentative conclusion, most leaks are about Israel's broad strategic thinking and the politics thereof, rather than hard information. The primary impact is on process, important in itself, not substance. |
