In this concise yet comprehensive survey, Kirsten E. Schulze
analyzes the causes, course and consequences of the Arab-Israeli
conflict, exploring the particular dynamics of this conflict and
the numerous attempts at its resolution. Covering pivotal events
ranging from the creation of the State of Israel to the first and
second Lebanon Wars and the Arab Spring, the book traces the
development of the conflict from its intellectual roots in the
nineteenth century to the present day. This third edition has been
revised throughout to bring the text up to date with recent events,
including: * a completely new chapter on the Gaza Wars from 2006 to
2014 * new material on the Arab Spring and its implications for
Israel * an updated discussion of the ongoing negotiations for
peace. Containing a diverse collection of primary source documents,
a chronology of key dates, a glossary, a guide to further reading
and a Who's Who summarizing the careers and contributions of the
main figures, this book is essential to understanding the
background to and worldwide significance of the continuing violence
between Israel and Palestine and is valuable reading for all
students of the Arab-Israeli conflict.
This book deals with the relations of the Jewish Agency and the
State of Israel with the Lebanese Maronites in the period
1920-1984. It is essentially a study of the evolution of Israeli
policy towards and the minority alliance with the Maronites. The
central argument of the book is that Israel has pursued an active
policy of intervention in the domestic politics of Lebanon through
the alliance, and thus the book challenges the view of Israel as 'a
nation that dwells alone'.

This timely 2 volume edited collection looks at the extent and
nature of global jihad, focusing on the often-exoticised
hinterlands of jihad beyond the traditionally viewed Middle Eastern
'centre'. As ISIS loses its footing in Syria and Iraq and al-Qaeda
regroups, this comprehensive account will be a key work in the
on-going battle to better understand the dynamics of jihad's global
reality. The two volumes critically examine the various claims of
connections between jihadist terrorism in the 'periphery', remote
Islamist insurgencies of the 'periphery' and the global jihad. Each
volume draws on experts in each of the geographies in question.
