Synopsis

Now in its sixth decade, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict remains a major challenge in world politics and the root cause of polarisation in the region and elsewhere. This timeous study brings together scholars, politicians, and activists of varying persuasions who examine the multidimensional aspects of the conflict. The volume is divided into six parts, representing a series of dialogical encounters, either directly - by presenting two or more perspectives on the same question - or indirectly - by presenting alternative readings of entrenched positions. Part 1 examines the historical dimensions of the conflict. Parts 2 and 3 examine Zionism and the two-state solution respectively, while Part 4 explores alternatives to the two-state solution, drawing the dominant paradigm of the peace process into conversation with fresher approaches. Part 5 examines the role of the international community in critical gaze, while Part 6 explains the rise of the Islamic Resistance Movement, Hamas, presenting authoritative insider perspectives that explore past events as well as the current nexus of the conflict.
