The Arab-Israeli dispute has proven to be one of the most intractable conflicts of modern times. With the potential for the Arab-Israeli Wars to develop into international ones, it is vital to understand why the various wars started and why diplomacy has failed to resolve the conflict.

The course employs a three-dimensional approach to understanding the conflict from its origins in 1880 to the present day. It looks at the key developments in:The Zionist/Israeli arena

The Arab world with special reference to the Palestinians
 The international powers of the day
The main concept of the course is that it is vital in order to fully understand the conflict to study all three areas and how they impact upon one another. Students are encouraged to adopt this three-dimensional approach and are introduced to the key Israeli, Arab and international scholarship on these areas.

No prior knowledge of the Arab-Israeli Conflict is required. Students are encouraged to read one of the recommended general histories of the Middle East prior to starting the course.
