This course deals with the changing approaches of Israelis, Palestinians and other parties towards the Palestinian-Israeli conflict; and especially with the attempts to attain peace between the two sides. From discussion of the Arab-Israeli conflict, we will move to examine processes of reconciliation alongside “peace keeping” and “carrot and stick” approaches.
