Peace and Conflict Studies: War and Peace in the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict

The course will introduce and elaborate on various theoretical perspectives of war and peace in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Central issues to be discussed and compared over time are (1) the causes of the conflict, such as identity, nationalism, religion, territory and great power politics; (2) the Middle Peace Process (MEPP), which highlights the various agreements, peacebuilding by third parties, the roles of mediators and the collapse of the peace negotiations; and (3) conflict resolution, visions of peace and various territorial solutions, such as two-states, confederation and binational state.
