- This course aims to provide the student with an in‐depth understanding of major themes, historical events, and personalities in Israeli foreign relations. Throughout the term, we will discuss the nature of Israel’s “relationship” with the U.S.; its relations with its Arab neighbors, Europe, and Israeli public opinion regarding foreign policy. You will become familiar with the key players and issues, as well as with the complexities of Israeli diplomatic efforts in the Middle East. The course is intended to provide students with the tools needed to follow with a critical eye day‐to‐day events in the Middle East The structure of the course is simple and concise. An initial overview of a topic will be followed by interesting case studies, focused on key episodes in the evolution of Israeli foreign policy. Many of these studies center upon crisis situations, which tested the relationship and redefined it. After these case studies, discussion on some controversial contemporary aspects of the subject will occur. Interpretation of IR theory within the specific context of foreign policy and power projection will occur. It is important to emphasize what this course is not. Finally, as students you will upon completion: 1. Analyze selected contemporary policy issues using knowledge of theory, history and the political process. 2. Demonstrate research, analytical, writing, and presentation skills.
