The central objective of this book is to analyze the characteristics of the social contexts and environments in conflict situations, and the impact that these socializing environments may have on the political learning and emerging citizenship orientations of youngsters. Special attention is given to the socializing environments of Palestinian and Israeli youngsters, drawing on material recently collected in Israel.

Ichilov's incisive research uses a multilevel and interdisciplinary approach to argue that political learning is structured within social environments and that there are fundamental differences between the socializing environments in conflict and non-conflict situations.

Orit Ichilov is a former chair of the Department of Educational Sciences at Tel-Aviv University. Her research has focused on political socialization and political education, and her publications include Citizenship and Citizenship Education in a Changing World (1998).
