Course Information
Description
The Israeli-Palestinian conflict attracts enormous attention and is often perceived as unique. This course explores its similarities with other national and colonial struggles over the twentieth century and focuses on partition — the division of a contested territory and the people who live in it - as a means of conflict resolution. This course combines analytical frameworks developed by political scientists with the historical study of partition, primarily in Palestine, though with substantive attention to Ireland, India, and other countries.
