The Jerusalem Problem The Struggle for Permanent Status Unknown - 2003

Gainesville, FL, U.S.A.: University Press of Florida, 2003. Half Cloth. As New/As New. The author, a political scientist at Bar-Ilan University and an Israeli advisor during the Camp David talks, analyzes the negotiations over Israeli-Palestinian territorial disputes, particularly the Camp David talks of 2000 and the Taba talks of 2001, concentrating on discussions over the future of Jerusalem; he argues that the negotiations created a negative dynamic and that the violent outcome was neither inevitable nor entirely determined by the personalities of the participants; he contends that the Israeli and Palestinian negotiators and leaders interacted destructively and that the American interaction with both sides was detrimental; beginning with the official permanent status talks, he tracks the diplomacy on all sides from 1994 onward (black cloth with silver lettering and red paper-covered boards; pictorial dust jacket with photo of Jerusalem on the front)
