This module examines the political, religious, ideological, social, economic and strategic forces that inform the allocation of power and resources in Israeli society and its political decision making processes. While a historical perspective is frequently adopted, this is not a course on the history of the state; rather, an understanding of the processes of state formation and securitisation is used to inform discussion of aspects of Israel today and conceptions of ‘Israeliness’.
