This basic course will introduce the student into the discourse of Israel studies. The course focuses on internal history of the State of Israel, its politics and society as well as religious and cultural affairs. While Israeli-Palestinian conflict is an important part of the Israeli history, this course aims to explore the topics that are important for Israeli history and identity, yet they are not directly related to the Middle-Eastern conflict. The course will start with the birth of Zionism and continue through the history of the Yishuv, Zionism during WWII, birth of Israel, mamlakhtiyut period of 1950s, Israel as emerging local power in 1960s, shifts in Israeli society during 1970s and 1980s up to the impacts of two intifadas and failure of the peace process. The last lectures will explore contemporary issues of Israel (minorities in Israel, "Start-up Nation", social gaps, orthodox Jews etc.) and the history of Czech-Israeli relations.
Modul is taught in English only.
