COMPARATIVE POLITICS: AREAS 47 - The Arab-Israeli Conflict

Institution:

Dartmouth College

Subject:

Description:

09W, 09F: 2 For the better part of a century, the conflict over Palestine has defied resolution. The tensions and instability it has generated have profoundly affected-and been affected by-both international relations and the domestic politics of a wide range of countries. This course examines the changing external and local forces that have shaped the confrontation. Using primary as well as secondary sources, we will try to understand how the various parties to the conflict have defined its stakes, understood their interests, viewed their adversaries, mobilized support, and formulated policy. We will consider grassroots politics as well as elite calculations. We will look at the role played by ideas, institutions, material interests, and leadership, at both the regional and the broader international levels. We will end by assessing the current prospects for a settlement . Dist: INT; WCult: NW . Sa'adah
