| The aim of the seminars is to present an overview of Israel's foreign and security policies since independence until the current war and examine the factors and processes that shaped Israel's relations with regional and international actors. The course will analyze the factors that determine Israel's major policies, taking into account the tension between Israel's geographic location in the Middle East and its Western orientation, Israel's Jewish origins and identity, and its strategic situation in the Middle East, including the Israeli-Arab and Israeli-Palestinian conflicts and recent changes in the region. Specific focus will be given to Israeli decision makers' dilemmas and the tension between ideology and interest in Israel's foreign policy. |
