INTRODUCTION
Shalom, and welcome to the M.A. Program in Government, at the Lauder School of Government,
Diplomacy, and Strategy.
This booklet contains important information and, hopefully, you will find answers to all your
questions here. So please read it carefully.
The academic year will begin with Orientation Week
October 23- 25, 2011
One of the important services that the Interdisciplinary Center provides you is an Orientation Week
for M.A. students. These days are designed to make your entry into the academic environment as
smooth as possible.
The Orientation Week will give you the opportunity to meet with your future classmates, faculty
and staff. You will participate in discussions and lectures about the structure of the M.A. academic
program and campus services, facilities, and events. There will be substantive discussions of
issues connected with your specializations, meetings with faculty and former students, and a field
trip to get acquainted a bit more with the country.
Orientation Week is organized and run by the M.A. administration and faculty and upper-class
students who serve as counselors. During this time, you will be instructed in the use of the library,
computer laboratories, and databases.
Orientation Week is a vital preparation for succeeding at the Interdisciplinary Center and
participation in it is mandatory.
You can find a tentative schedule for the Orientation Week on page 15 of this booklet. The final
schedule for the Orientation Week as well as the schedule of classes for the academic year 201112 - will be posted towards the end of August 2011 on the M.A. program website:
(www.idc.ac.il/gov/eng/MA ).
Note that the registration for classes in the M.A. Program will be held on 23 October – 6
November, 2011.
Before Orientation Week begins, you will be contacted by a counselor (towards the end of
September 2011) who will accompany you throughout your studies at the IDC.

PREPARATORY HEBREW COURSE – ULPAN
Learning Hebrew is most important for your adjustment in Israel.
The IDC is offering Ulpan (Hebrew language studies) at four different levels so you may learn or
improve your Hebrew.
To join the Ulpan you will need to take a Hebrew Ulpan placement test after which you will be
divided into classes based on your test results. Classes are held once a week during the
semester, and are designed to help students feel comfortable using Hebrew.
The placement test will take place during Orientation Week so any student interested in
taking the test will be able to do so.
The test results will be sent to you by e-mail with notification of your Hebrew level (A-D).
Students who do not know Hebrew at all obviously do not need to take the placement test. They
may register to Ulpan level A.
Students who intend to take the Ulpan during the first semester of studies must inform the
M.A. Program Administration by email: [email protected] no later then Sunday, October 23,
2011.
We will be offering a 6 week intensive summer ulpan from the end of July to September.
For more details please contact [email protected]

HEALTH INSURANCE
All IDC Herzliya students are required to have comprehensive health insurance coverage
throughout their studies.
We have made special arrangements to insure international students who are not covered by
Israel’s compulsory health insurance legislation. The insurance plan with Hilit (see next page)
provides comprehensive health coverage for an annual $550 U.S. membership fee, which will be
charged at the beginning of the year. Please note that the Hilit health insurance plan does not
cover pre-existing conditions.
If you are interested in obtaining this health insurance, please make a note of it in the forms
which were emailed to you with your acceptance letter.
Medication:
If you are taking prescribed medication, it is advisable to bring an adequate supply for the duration
of your stay abroad. If that is not possible, you should bring a doctor’s prescription (clearly typed in
English) for the medicine that you are using, or a prescription of a generic medication that is
suitable for your condition. If your medication is sent to you through the mail, you will be required
to present a copy of the prescription to the Israel Customs Office before it can be released.
Please note:
According to Israel’s compulsory health insurance legislation, all Israeli citizens including new
immigrants (olim chadashim) are entitled to receive health insurance for a low monthly fee.
New immigrants are entitled to six months of free health insurance under the national insurance
legislation (bituah leumi). After the initial six months, new immigrants are entitled to the same
health insurance as all other Israeli citizens.
IDC cannot cover medical costs or take responsibility for students who do not have health
insurance.

TIPS FOR HOUSING
Tips for Housing for Graduates Students:
Your first decision is going to be whether to live in Tel Aviv or Herzliya. Tel Aviv is about a 20
minute drive from Herzliya. Classes for M.A. students are usually no more than 3 times per week,
so many students choose to live in the city of Tel Aviv rather than near school in Herzliya. Both
decisions are fine.
From Tel Aviv, Herzliya is accessible by train & bus.
Looking for an apartment is best done once you are already in Israel. It is very hard to do this
before you arrive. An option for the early days before you find an apartment, if you don't have
friend's couches to crash on, is to stay in a hostel or short term sublet. Not a bad idea to stay in a
hostel for the first week or two to get orientated, meet new people (it's very easy in Israel), and
look at apartments. Some hostels are Mugraby Hostel, Gordon Inn, Sky Hostel. In all of these
hostels you will meet people in similar situations.. You can also try to sublet an apartment for a
week or two via various subletting websites.
As far as finding an apartment, the first thing might be to join a Yahoo! group called Taanglo
(http://groups.yahoo.com/group/taanglo/). They are really good at all sorts of helpful things for
when you move to the Tel Aviv area. Just make sure you sign up for the daily digest or else your
inbox will be full. Another great website for English speakers in Tel Aviv is called Telalivit
(www.telalivit.com) . If you are looking in the Herzliya or Raanana area, check out this website
(www.inhasharon.co.il) for a great English speaking website for the Sharon area.
Are you or a close friend fluent in Hebrew? If so, you should check out www.homeless.co.il or
www.yad2.co.il. These are great ways to get sublets or rooms for rent in Tel Aviv or Herzliya with
Israeli roommates (which is a great way to integrate into the country- by living with Israeli
roommates).
This all may sound very last minute and unplanned, but the best way to get things done in Israel is
to go with the flow. You'll have a much better chance of finding a great apartment and roommate
by doing it once you get to Israel, not before.
Please note that this content is not sponsored by the school. We (the authors of the housing note,
David & Lenore) have both been in the same situation as you and we wanted to share with you
some of our experiences.

Strategy and Deterrence
Course Description
The course provides a historical and conceptual overview of the “deterrence theory” and situates it within
the context of the “strategic studies” discipline. We will learn the theory of deterrence within a broader
framework of modern diplomatic and strategic history and in conjunction with the evolution of
contemporary military thought and warfare. We will: (a) focus on the application of the deterrence theory to
irregular, conventional and nuclear strategic interactions, (b) examine cognitive, emotional, cultural and
structural limitations of this concept, and (c) discuss the relevance of this theory for alternative strategic
futures.

Issues in National Security
Course Description
The course provides students with an understanding of the fundamentals of Israel's national security policy
making. The class examines the evolution of the Israeli threat perception and security policy, and provides
multi-disciplinary explanations of the principles guiding the Israeli strategic and operational behavior in war
and diplomacy. To frame the Israeli case in a broader context, we will compare the Israeli experience to the
practices of strategic communities worldwide, particularly, in the US, Russia and China.

Course Description: The course will review the main approaches and theories in the field of
conflict resolution. Throughout the course we'll integrate theoretical approaches with empirical
case studies of contemporary conflicts. In addition the course will deal with other sub-fields that
are relevant to the study of conflicts and their resolution – e.g., political psychology, political
economy, security studies and more. We'll analyze different perspectives to the outbreak of
conflicts, evaluate different ways of conflict management and resolution and will discuss the
conditions and processes that lead to the end of the conflict and to reconciliation.
Requirements
1. Participation in all the classes and reading of all the required items (attendance of 80% is
required in order to take the final exam).
2. Three short essays (1 page each) on a selected conflict (from a list of 4 conflicts) will account
for 30 percents of the final grade (Elaborated explanation in class) – A presentation in class (4
students) in the third and fourth classes instead of two of the essays – optional.
3. Final (take-home) exam will account for 70% of the final grade.

Theory and Practice of Mediation in International Relations
Fall Semester 2010/11
Mondays, 14:00-15:30, Room E102
Dr. Lesley Terris
E-mail: [email protected]
Office Hours: Tuesdays 15:45-16:45
(or by appointment)
Phone number: 09-9602854
In this course we will survey and analyze the practice and theory of mediation as a method of
conflict management/resolution in international politics. The course will cover the main theoretical
approaches to the study of mediation within the wider context of negotiation and bargaining
theories, including rational approaches, descriptive and behavioral approaches, and psychological
and cultural approaches. Substantive attention will be devoted to issues of the motivations for
mediation in international conflicts, mediators' roles and styles, trust issues, and power concerns.
We will assess the contribution of different theoretical concepts to our understanding of mediation
processes, while examining their limitations in light of the complexities that characterize the
international system.
Course requirements: final exam, based on the syllabus readings and class content.
Guidelines
In order for the course to provide a productive and educational experience for all, it is important
that you come to class meetings with the readings for that class completed and prepared to
discuss them. Students are expected to maintain principles of mutual respect and integrity
throughout the course. Students who miss more than three classes will be penalized – 10% of
course grade.
I am available to answer questions about the course during office hours or by appointment. If you
have any questions, don't hesitate to ask me.

Office Hour: By Appointment
Teaching Assistant: Mr. Oren Magen
Course Objectives
This course is a survey of ancient and modern Western political thought that have shaped our
common political language. We will situate each theorist in the particular historical periods in which
they lived and analyze the various answers that they sought to offer to the permanent questions of
the relationship between the individual (how should we live as good and happy people) and
statecraft (how should we live together). In doing so, we shall consider questions of human nature,
the place of virtue in political life, and the nature of justice, freedom, obligation, and community.
Students will be able to develop their critical and analytical skills through writing, in-class
discussions and participation in Socratic dialogue debates as they acquire a deeper understanding
of thinkers' approach to social and political questions.
Course Requirements*
1. Class Attendance – In accordance with IDC academic regulations, a student must be present
in at least 75% of classes during the semester in order to be eligible to receive a grade for the
course. Thus, any student who is absent in three or more classes without a valid reason discussed
with the lecturer or teaching assistant beforehand, will not receive a course grade.
2. Class Participation- Students are expected to read all assigned material in advance of class and come
prepared to close textual analysis of selected works of the great political thinkers in class discussions.(10%)
3. Class Assignments –
3.1 Each student will be asked to write two critical essays of 4 pages (double-spaced) in length for
each essay. Students will be required to critically discuss current political and social issues through a
comparative analysis of 5 political thinkers. (40%)
4. Final paper (50%)
* Any delay in assignments' submission will cause a reduction of 2 point per day.

Phone number: 09-9602854
In this course we will survey and analyze the practice and theory of mediation as a method of
conflict management/resolution in international politics. The course will cover the main theoretical
approaches to the study of mediation within the wider context of negotiation and bargaining
theories, including rational approaches, descriptive and behavioral approaches, and psychological
and cultural approaches. Substantive attention will be devoted to issues of the motivations for
mediation in international conflicts, mediators' roles and styles, trust issues, and power concerns.
We will assess the contribution of different theoretical concepts to our understanding of mediation
processes, while examining their limitations in light of the complexities that characterize the
international system.
Course requirements: final exam, based on the syllabus readings and class content.
Guidelines
In order for the course to provide a productive and educational experience for all, it is important
that you come to class meetings with the readings for that class completed and prepared to
discuss them. Students are expected to maintain principles of mutual respect and integrity
throughout the course. Students who miss more than three classes will be penalized – 10% of
course grade.
I am available to answer questions about the course during office hours or by appointment. If you
have any questions, don't hesitate to ask me.
