For as long as people have been working to bring peace to areas
suffering long-standing, violent conflict, there have also been
those working to spoil this peace. These "spoilers" work to disrupt
the peace process, and often this disruption takes the form of
violence on a catastrophic level. Galia Golan and Gilead Sher offer
a broader perspective. They examine this phenomenon by analyzing
groups who have spoiled or attempted to spoil peace efforts by
political or other nonviolent means. By focusing in particular on
the Israeli-Arab conflict, this collection of essays considers the
impact of a democratic society operating within a broader context
of violence. Contributors bring to light the surprising efforts of
negotiators, members of the media, political leaders, and even the
courts to disrupt the peace process, and they offer coping
strategies for addressing this kind of disruption. Taking into
account the multitude of factors that can lead to the breakdown of
negotiations, Spoiling and Coping with Spoilers shows how spoilers
have been a key factor in Israeli-Arab negotiations in the past and
explores how they will likely shape negotiations in the future.

Israeli-Arab peacemaking.The book is an essential reading for

peacebuilding, history, politics or the Middle East, be it an

activist, a student or an insatiable knowledge seeker.
