are pleased to invite you to the international conference:

“Social and Political Dynamics in Israel. Jewish State 70 Years
After the Declaration of Independence”
May 7-9, 2018, Krakow, Jagiellonian University.

The conference organized by The Institute of Jewish Studies of the Jagiellonian University in Krakow, The Institute of Middle and Far East of the Jagiellonian University in Krakow in cooperation with The European Association of Israel Studies aims at facilitating the debate on the condition of the Israeli State, society and culture 70 years after establishment of the Jewish State. We would like to focus on the historical development of the State of Israel as well the context of diaspora for Israeli society. We are also interested in the extent to which the socio-cultural changes in Israel are part of broader trends in the Middle East and how they shape relations between the State of Israel and the region.

The conference is intended to become a platform where different disciplines and diverse research perspectives meet to enrich our understanding of Israel. We hope that this will allow us to more accurately capture the dynamics of the change in Israel and its positionin the world.
