1) Conflict Resolution from Theory to Practice: Israel as a Case Study
How are societies and people influenced by longstanding conflict? In this course, you will explore the violent, unremitting nature of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and how it has shaped Israeli society. Together, we will discuss topics such as Jerusalem’s fate, the Palestinian refugees, the settlements, and security concerns. Most importantly, we will build a multilayered perspective on conflict resolution efforts through examination of the Oslo peace process and other past and present activities by the Israeli peace camp.
