development of the Arab-Israeli conflict
from its beginnings in the period when
Palestine was controlled by the Ottoman
Empire. The growth of Arab Nationalism
and Zionism will be compared, as will the
conflicting promises made by the British
to both Zionists and Arab Nationalists
during World War I. Next a review will be
made of British rule over both Arabs and
Zionists during the Palestine Mandate. The
second half of the course will examine the
Arab-Israeli wars since 1948, the Camp
David and Oslo peace processes, and the
outbreak of the Al-Aksa Intifadah. The
conflict will be analyzed against the
background of great power intervention in
the Middle East, and the dynamics of
intra-Arab politics, Political Islam, and
oil. Cross-listed as POLI 485.
