INTRODUCTIONThe course provides the student with tools to grasp the profound reasons for, as well as implications derived from the complex relations prevailing between Europe and Israel since the creation after 1945 of pan-European integration projects first and foremost the European Economic Community in 1958, but also the OEEC in 1948 and EFTA in 1959. But in order to better understand these relations, students will be introduced when needed to the economics of European economic integration, with a special emphasis on Euro-med relations. The special place that the development of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict has in the state of bilateral Israel-EU relations and in the EU’s foreign policy will also be addressed. Since Israel has recently joined the OECD (the successor organization of the OEEC) and the Union for the Mediterranean, its relations with these two IOs will also be reviewed for comparative purposes.OBJECTIVESStudents taking this course should after successful completion of the requirements be able to understand the current policy debates taking place on the one hand in Israel as well as among the member states of the EU and in the EU Commission regarding the future of Israel-EU relations . However, this course, having a global outlook, will deal as well with the perspective from the US and the Arab world about the former. A particular emphasis of the course will be on recent issues affecting those relations such as the rules of origin, the settlements, energy developments in the Eastern Mediterranean and the euro crisis.
