This course will examine the Israeli political system from its early development to the present. The class will focus on the Zionist ideology of the founders and the transformation of that ideology during the state-building period. Israeli political institutions will be examined along with historical and contemporary political conflicts, the vagaries of the peace process, and Israeli-American relations. This course is the same as POLS 218 which may be substituted. You must register with a supervising faculty member.
Topics vary from term to term and from section to section.
See The Class Schedule for the specific topic being offered.
