The Academic Study Group was established in 1977 in order to forge closer links between political and social scientists in Britain, and their counterparts in the higher education sector in Israel. In its infancy A.S.G. concentrated almost exclusively on analysing developments in the newly-reborn State of Israel and conflicts raging in the Middle East. Latterly A.S.G. has radically revised and enlarged its terms of reference.
