Negotiating Arab-Israeli Peace: Patterns, Problems, Possibilities (Indiana Series in Middle East Studies) - Taschenbuch

Thoroughly updated and expanded, this new edition of NegotiatingArab-Israeli Peace examines the history of recurrent efforts to resolve theArab-Israeli conflict and identifies a pattern of negative negotiating behaviorsthat seem to repeatedly derail efforts to achieve peace. In a lively and accessiblestyle, Laura Zittrain Eisenberg and Neil Caplan examine eight case studies of recentArab-Israeli diplomatic encounters, from the Egyptian-Israeli peace of 1979 to thebeginning of the Obama administration, in light of the historical record. Bymeasuring contemporary diplomatic episodes against the pattern of counterproductivenegotiating habits, this book makes possible a coherent comparison of over sixtyyears of Arab-Israeli negotiations and gives readers a framework with which toassess the relative strengths and weaknesses of peace-making attempts, past, present, and future.
