1 Class Title Course Number(s) Comparative Conflict Regulation: Israel/Palestine and Northern Ireland POLS34557 Semester Spring 2014 Teachers(s) Points of Contact Course Overview Learning Objectives Dr. Julianna Füzesi Professor Thomas P. Flint Office hours by appointment This course introduces to the devices used to regulate ethnonational conflicts by examining two of the most prominent examples: Northern Ireland and Israel/Palestine. It provides students with an understanding of the tools available to groups, states, and policy makers to both wage and manage such conflict. Following a thorough introduction to the twin concepts of nationalism and ethnicity, the course analyses these divided societies in three main thematic blocks: partition (Block A), hegemonic control (B), and power-sharing / negotiated settlements (Block C). As an introductory course to ethno-national conflicts, this class focuses on three essential targets: to introduce students to the discipline's main themes, terms and theoretical debates, thereby providing thorough foundation knowledge to introduce students to the respective history and main issues of the Northern Irish and Israeli- Palestinian conflict to enhance students understanding of the field by linking theory to detailed empirical case studies Teaching Method POLS34557 consists of lecture-discussion classes. Lectures will introduce new topics, which students will then discuss. It is therefore essential that readings be completed before class. Discussion in class, based on readings, will form the core element in understanding and evaluating theory and practice. Debates will include critical analysis of our source materials (online journal articles and our textbooks) as well as student presentations on the theories / case studies examined that week. Themes may vary according to interest and current news. More than one week may be spent on a theme. The course will involve guest speakers, visits to relevant sites, and watching in-class documentaries.
2 Assessment Structure Assessment is based on four differently weighted elements: contribution in class (10%) one oral presentation (25%) one research paper (25%) a mid-term exam (20%) a final exam (20%). Contribution in the lecture-seminars should reflect sustained preparation of class topics. Unexcused / unnecessary absences will result in an F grade in this element. Presentations should be well researched and reflect a good grasp of the topic. They should be minutes long. Presentations will be based on both the textbook and journal articles from our syllabus. Research paper: one word-processed paper of 3000 words is due on Wednesday 6 November Essay topics will be posted on our course site. Own suggestions are welcome, but subject to approval. The essay will be assessed in view of a) structure, language and presentation (25%) b) methodology and referencing (25%) c) content (50%) and will receive an overall composite mark. Late essays will not be accepted unless there is a plausible and verifiable reason (i.e. medical certificate for illness, stolen or crashed laptop computer etc.). In-class exam: the mid-term exam is scheduled for Wednesday 2 October, This will be a quiz-type exam of two hours, requiring short answers to knowledge-based prompts. The final exam will again last two hours and will present ten questions out of which three should be answered in short essays of two to three pages each. Required Resources Books: Milton J. Esman.

A selection of relevant websites can be found on the last page. Classroom Policies Standard London Undergraduate Program attendance policies apply. Foundations of Conflict Theme 1 Introductory overview (1) Nationalism and ethnicity Questions to consider: Definitions: why is ethnicity such a fuzzy concept? What are the problems in defining / recognising an ethnic group? Make a brainstorm list before coming to class. What is ethno-nationalism? Are there other types of nationalism too? (Muller, Esman, Connor) Class discussion: based on these concepts, can we identify the ethnonational groups in Northern Ireland and Israel/Palestine? Muller, Jerry Z.

4 nation is a nation, is a state, is an ethnic group, is a..., Ethnic and Racial Studies Vol.1, 1978.) Theme 2 Introductory overview (2) - Nations vs states Questions to consider: What is ethno-national conflict about? Consider and rank the various claims ethnic groups put forward. (Esman, Gurr) Method: What choices does a challenged state face? Consider the range of repressive versus accommodative instruments. Which ones do you think are ethical and which prove successful? (O Leary & McGarry) What are the main group demands and state responses in our two case studies? Rank and describe Palestinian, Israeli, Irish Unionist and Republican positions based on these readings.

How were Zionism and Palestinian nationalism constructed against each other? How does this affect attempts to regulate the conflict? (Gelvin, Pappé) 2. Why are Irish Unionism and Republicanism mutually exclusive? (Tonge, McGarry) 3. Both cases involve settler nationalism: outline the commonalities and differences between them. Which group did each state side with? (Gelvin, McGarry)

(Esman, Mearsheimer, Kumar) 5. What are the immediate and long-term effects of partition? Is it an effective way to regulate ethno-national conflict?
