Contested Sites in Jerusalem is the third and final volume in a
series of books which collectively present in detail the work of
the Jerusalem Old City Initiative, or JOCI, a major Canadian-led
Track Two diplomatic effort, undertaken between 2003 and 2014. The
aim of the Initiative was to find sustainable governance solutions
for the Old City of Jerusalem, arguably the most sensitive and
intractable of the final status issues dividing Palestinians and
Israelis. This book examines the complex and often contentious
issues that arise from the overlapping claims to the Temple
Mount/Haram al-Sharif, the role of UNESCO, and the major
implications of the JOCI Special Regime for such issues as
archaeology, property, and the economy. Part I is dedicated to holy
sites - ground zero of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, a point
reinforced by the autumn 2014 disturbances which threatened to
spiral out of control and engulf Palestinians and Israelis in yet
another wave of violence. Parts II-IV of the volume contain studies
on archaeology, property, and economics that were written after the
completion of the Special Regime model, specifically to address in
depth how a Special Regime would deal with each of these three
important areas. Contested Sites in Jerusalem offers an insightful
explanation of the enormous challenges facing any attempt to find
sustainable governance and security arrangements for the Old City
in the context of a peace agreement between the Israelis and the
Palestinians. It will therefore be of immense value to the
policy-making community, as well as anyone in academia with a focus
on Middle East politics, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and the
Middle East peace process.
