Reflections On Conflict Resolution: In The Middle East And Beyond

What does the future hold for humanity in these uncertain times? While living in a battered, conflicted, and unstable global reality, it seems difficult to imagine a less embroiled reality. Reflections on Conflict Resolution offers hope that there might be ways to resolve, or at least mitigate, even complex, violent, and protracted conflicts between communities and nations. This volume presents the state of the art in a decade-long analysis of conflict resolution in the Middle East and beyond. The 15 articles by the author and his co-authors contain policy ideas, dilemmas, research, and analysis: dealing with social media and peacemaking as well as with negotiating climate politics; transcending from grappling with Anti-Semitism to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict resolution; and analyzing the negotiations that led to the 2015 Iran nuclear deal as well as Israeli-Arab peacemaking. The book is an essential reading for anyone interested in either conflict resolution, negotiations, peacebuilding, history, politics or the Middle East, be it an academician, a practitioner, a politician, a civil society activist, a student or an insatiable knowledge seeker.
