Abstract
ABSTRACT Israel Studies is a rather recent and fragmented discipline in the Italian academic system. Nonetheless, the interest in Israel’s geopolitical history has progressively emerged from Middle East and International Relations scholars as well as from some non-academic actors seeking to understand the Israeli-Arab conflict and later on Israel’s own sociopolitical complexity. Universities such as Venice and Pisa include Israeli history in various academic curricula while Florence University offers a specific course on Israel’s History. The article reconstructs the development of Israel Studies in Italy by examining the decentralized academic dynamics and by contextualizing it within local academia and society.
