Class Details
This is an introductory course on Israeli politics, government, and society. Approaching questions historically, it will begin by discussing the evolution of Zionism in the period before the foundation of the Israeli state and the founding of the state. Then, the course will turn to domestic politics, including the immigration of Jews into Israel, the development of Israeli political parties, the growth of the Ultra-Orthodox population, and state policies to the West Bank. Next, the course will consider Israel’s foreign policies, including its relations with other Middle Eastern countries and the United States, and the interaction between its domestic politics and its foreign policies. The course will conclude by addressing the politics of the Palestinian issue and the feasibility of proposals to resolve the controversy.
