What explains the peculiar intensity and evident intractability of
the Israeli-Palestinian conflict? Of all the ""hot spots"" in the
world today, the apparently endless clash between Jews and Arabs in
the Middle East seems unique in its longevity and resistance to
resolution. Is this conflict really different from other ethnic and
nationalist confrontations, and if so, in what way? In this fully
revised and expanded fifth edition of his highly respected
introductory text, Alan Dowty demystifies the conflict by putting
it in broad historical perspective, identifying its roots, and
tracing its evolution up to the current impasse. His account offers
a clear analytic framework for understanding transformations over
time, and in doing so, punctures the myths of an ""age-old""
conflict with an unbridgeable gap between the two sides. Rather
than simply reciting historical detail, this book presents a clear
overview that serves as a road map through the thicket of
conflicting claims. Updated to include recent developments, such as
the recent Israeli elections and the debate over the two-state
solution, the new edition presents in full the opposed perspectives
of the two sides, leaving readers to make their own evaluations of
the issues. The book thus expresses fairly and objectively the
concerns, hopes, fears, and passions of both sides, making it clear
why this conflict is waged with such vehemence - and how, for all
that, the gap between the two sides has narrowed over time.
