HIST 484 (3 credits)
Satisfies Goal 12Summer 2010
We will examine conflict around the Aegean since Antiquity, but just as
importantly, we will be looking at the construction of boundaries that
mean to forestall conflict, at the cross-cultural contacts that happen
in the face of conflict, and the growing cooperation that marks the
relations of these two nations. That's actually the point of the
question mark in the course subtitle.
