Summary:
The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is one of the most prominent issues in world politics today. Few other subjects have dominated the world's headlines and have attracted such attention from policy-makers, the academic community, political analysts, and the world's media. The Routledge Handbook on the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict offers a comprehensive and accessible overview of the most contentious and protracted political issues in the Middle East. Bringing together a range of top experts from Israel, Palestine, Europe, and North America, the Handbook tackles a range of topics, including: the historical background to the conflict, peace efforts, domestic politics, critical issues such as settlements, borders, Jerusalem and refugees, the role of outside players such as the Arab states, the USA, and the EU. This Handbook provides the reader with an understanding of the complexity of the issues that need to be addressed in order to resolve the conflict and a detailed examination of the varied interests of the actors involved. In-depth analysis is supplemented by a chronology of the conflict, key documents, and a range of maps. The contributors are all leading authorities in their field and have published extensively on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict/peace process. Many have played a leading role in various. Track II initiatives accompanying the peace process. Book jacket.
