Book Synopsis Futile Diplomacy, Volume 4 by : Neil Caplan
Download or read book Futile Diplomacy, Volume 4 written by Neil Caplan and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-05-15 with total page 453 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book, first published in 1997, focuses on the Anglo-American cooperation which began during the relatively uneventful years 1953 and 1954, and which led to a covert operation, code-named 'Alpha', which aimed – unsuccessfully – at convincing Egyptian and Israeli leaders to consider a settlement through secret negotiations. As with the other three volumes that make up Futile Diplomacy, this volume comprises Dr Caplan's expert in-depth analysis with a wealth of primary source documents, making this a key reference source in the study of the Arab-Israeli conflict.

Book Synopsis Negotiating Arab-Israeli Peace, Second Edition by : Laura Zittrain Eisenberg
Download or read book Negotiating Arab-Israeli Peace, Second Edition written by Laura Zittrain Eisenberg and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2010-07-14 with total page 452 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thoroughly updated and expanded, this new edition of Negotiating Arab-Israeli Peace examines the history of recurrent efforts to resolve the Arab-Israeli conflict and identifies a pattern of negative negotiating behaviors that seem to repeatedly derail efforts to achieve peace. In a lively and accessible style, Laura Zittrain Eisenberg and Neil Caplan examine eight case studies of recent Arab-Israeli diplomatic encounters, from the Egyptian-Israeli peace of 1979 to the beginning of the Obama administration, in light of the historical record. By measuring contemporary diplomatic episodes against the pattern of counterproductive negotiating habits, this book makes possible a coherent comparison of over sixty years of Arab-Israeli negotiations and gives readers a framework with which to assess the relative strengths and weaknesses of peace-making attempts, past, present, and future.
Book Synopsis Futile Diplomacy, Volume 1 by : Neil Caplan
Download or read book Futile Diplomacy, Volume 1 written by Neil Caplan and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-05-15 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most students of the history of Arab-Jewish relations have come to take for granted the stubborn resistance of the continuing dispute to any form of lasting and ‘reasonable’ solution. This book, first published in 1983, examines early Arab-Zionist negotiating experience with the assumption that this has direct relevance to our understanding of the possible outcomes of diplomatic approaches to resolving the conflict. Its main purpose is to assemble (half of the book consists of original souce documents) and discuss some of the raw material which may help readers focus more clearly on the origins of the conflict, and perhaps to eliminate some recurring fallacies about its development and the prospects for its resolution. An examination of the period 1913 to 1931 reveals of wealth of previous negotiating experience which is today largely forgotten, and indicates that there was little or no movement of any of the parties in the direction of modifying its basic minimum demands and aspirations.

Book Synopsis Studies in Contemporary Jewry by : Jonathan Frankel
Download or read book Studies in Contemporary Jewry written by Jonathan Frankel and published by Institute of Contemporary Jewry, Hebrew University of Jerusalem. This book was released on 1988-05-19 with total page 446 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle.

Among the topics examined in this volume are the transformation of Russian Jewish communal life; Habsburg Jewry and its disappearance; the Bolsheviks and British Jews; and the Palestinian labor movement.

Book Synopsis My Struggle for Peace, Volume 3 (1956) by : Moshe Sharett
Download or read book My Struggle for Peace, Volume 3 (1956) written by Moshe Sharett and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2019-03-19 with total page 827 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The third volume of the former Israeli prime minister’s journals from the nation’s early years. My Struggle for Peace is a remarkable political document offering insights into the complex workings of the young Israeli political system, set against the backdrop of the disintegration of the country’s fragile armistice with the Arab states. Replete with Moshe Sharett’s candid comments on Israel’s first-generation leaders and world statesmen of the day, the diary also tells the dramatic human story of a political career cut short—the removal of an unusually sensitive, dedicated, and talented public servant. My Struggle for Peace is, above all, an intimate record of the decline of Sharett’s moderate approach and the rise of more “activist-militant” trends in Israeli society, culminating in the Suez/Sinai war of 1956. The diary challenges the popular narrative that Israel’s confrontation with its neighbors was unavoidable by offering daily evidence of Sharett’s statesmanship, moderation, diplomacy, and concern for Israel’s place in international affairs. This is the third volume in the 3-volume English abridgement of Sharett’s Yoman Ishi [Personal diary] (Ma’ariv, 1978) maintains the integrity, flavor, and impact of the 8-volume Hebrew original and includes additional documentary material that was not accessible at the time. The volumes are also available to purchase as a set or individually. “The editors . . . vastly improved on the Hebrew version by adding Sharett’s speeches, reports, cabinet minutes, and other sources to the text. . . . These additions makes this work so important and welcome by all who aspire to understand the foreign and defense policies of Israel in its first decade.” —Israel Studies Review

Download or read book Cold Wars written by Lorenz M. Lüthi and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2020-03-19 with total page 775 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What was the Cold War that shook world politics for the second half of the twentieth century? Standard narratives focus on Soviet-American rivalry as if the superpowers were the exclusive driving forces of the international system. Lorenz M. Lüthi offers a radically different account, restoring agency to regional powers in Asia, the Middle East and Europe and revealing how regional and national developments shaped the course of the global Cold War. Despite their elevated position in 1945, the United States, Soviet Union and United Kingdom quickly realized that their political, economic, and military power had surprisingly tight limits given the challenges of decolonization, Asian-African internationalism, pan-Arabism, pan-Islamism, Arab–Israeli antagonism, and European economic developments. A series of Cold Wars ebbed and flowed as the three world regions underwent structural changes that weakened or even severed their links to the global ideological clash, leaving the superpower Cold War as the only major conflict that remained by the 1980s.
Book Synopsis More Than a Doctrine by : Randall Fowler
Download or read book More Than a Doctrine written by Randall Fowler and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2018 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Given on January 5, 1957, the Eisenhower Doctrine Address forever changed America's relationship with the Middle East. In the aftermath of the Suez Crisis, President Dwight D. Eisenhower boldly declared that the United States would henceforth serve as the region's "protector of freedom" against Communist aggression. Eighteen months later the president invoked the Eisenhower Doctrine, landing troops in Lebanon and setting an enduring precedent for U.S. intervention in the Middle East. How did Eisenhower justify this intervention to an American public wary of foreign entanglements? Why did he boldly issue the doctrine that bears his name? And, most important, how has Eisenhower's rhetoric continued to influence American policy and perception of the Middle East? Randall Fowler answers these questions and more in More Than a Doctrine. With the expansion of America's global influence and the executive branch's power, presidential rhetoric has become an increasingly important tool in U.S. foreign policy--nowhere more so than in the Middle East. By examining Eisenhower's rhetoric, More Than a Doctrine explores how the argumentative origins of the Eisenhower Doctrine Address continue to impact us today.
Book Synopsis Back Channel Negotiation by : Anthony Wanis-St. John
Download or read book Back Channel Negotiation written by Anthony Wanis-St. John and published by Syracuse University Press. This book was released on 2011-02-02 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wanis-St. John takes on the question of whether the complex and often perilous, secret negotiations between mediating parties prove to be an instrumental path to reconciliation or rather one that disrupts the process. Using the Palestinian-Israeli peace process as a framework, the author focuses on the uses and misuses of "back channel" negotiations. Wanis-St. John discusses how top level PLO and Israeli government officials often resorted to secret negotiation channels even when they had designated, acknowledged negotiation teams already at work. Intense scrutiny of the media, pressure from constituents, and the public’s reaction, all become severe constraints to the process, causing leaders to seek out back channel negotiations. The impact of these secret talks on the peace process over time has largely been unexplored. Through interviews with major negotiators and policymakers on both sides and a detailed history of the conflict, the author analyzes the functions and consequences of back channel negotiations. Wanis-St. John reveals the painful irony that these methods for peacemaking have had the unintended effect of inflaming the conflict and sustaining its intractability.

Book Synopsis Caught in the Middle East by : Peter L. Hahn
Download or read book Caught in the Middle East written by Peter L. Hahn and published by Univ of North Carolina Press. This book was released on 2006-02-01 with total page 422 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Postwar American officials desired, in principle, to promote Arab-Israeli peace in order to stabilize the Middle East. This book shows how, during the Truman and Eisenhower administrations, the desire for peace was not always an American priority. Instead, they consistently gave more weight to their determination to contain the Soviet Union.
