Abstract

This paper reports the main findings of an explorative study that attempts to connect three variables: attitudes
towards the welfare state, social capital and attitudes towards illegal channels for providing services (called
here 'alternative politics'). It is part of an ongoing project that has already produced a report, based on an
earlier survey, concerning the attitudes of the Israeli public towards the welfare state (Cohen, Mizrahi and
Yuval, forthcoming). The current study is based on a survey conducted during Spring 2010 among 507 Israeli
citizens representative of the Jewish portion of the Israeli population. This paper will not explore the
relationships between the variables mentioned above, but rather will describe the main descriptive statistics
and also outline possible theoretical hypotheses.
