Partition - Occupation - Rethinking Israel/Palestine 1947-1967-2017

The program “Regionalism and Borders” at the Bruno Kreisky Forum seeks to capitalize on the Forum’s extensive and rich engagements in the analyses of the politics of the Middle East and Europe in order to invite leading intellectuals and politicians to a series of workshops to discuss in a protected environment the rising new political order and the most pressing and critical questions and challenges that face the people of this region. A particular focus will be paid to the question of Israel/Palestine, which ought to be seen as a regional question rather than a local or a national one.
