Description and Table of Contents

Description

Since October 2000, the Al-Aqsa Intifada uprising has shattered any recognisable peace process. At some point both sides will have to return to the negotiating table. The outstanding issues cannot be resolved in any other way. It's only a question of time and casualties. This book, the second in the series Studies in Peace Politics in the Middle East, not only deals with the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, but also addresses the full range of the reconciliation process between Israel and the Arab World. Much of this material is published for the first time. A major part of the book is devoted to the complex negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians. It addresses forward and creative thinking on issues such as: Jerusalem; the settlements; the sovereignty and status of the holy sites; the difficulties from the Palestinian side of not negotiating from the framework of an independent state; and the perceptions of both the Palestinian and Israeli publics that would allow a meaningful and lasting reconciliation. By working collectively, the world's leading experts from Arab countries, the Palestinian Authority, Israel, Europe and the US have developed a chessboard of proposed solutions.
