With their homelands at war, can Diasporas lead the way to peace,
or do they present an obstacle to conflict resolution, nurturing
hate far away from those who actually fall victim to violence? And
which of these roles do the Jewish and Palestinian diaspora
communities play in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict? Particularly
since the Oslo peace process, the search for a solution to the
Israeli-Palestinian conflict has been strongly contested among
Jewish and Arab/Palestinian Organizations in the United States.
Through an analysis of the activities of Arab-Palestinian and
Jewish organizations on behalf of and towards their conflict-ridden
homelands, Diasporic Activism in the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict
provides both a detailed picture of diasporic activism in the
Middle East as well as advancing theory-building on the roles of
diasporas in helping or hindering peace. Drawing on research into
(transnational) social movements, diaspora studies and
constructivist International Relations theory, this book retraces
how this process of diversification occurred, and explains why
neither the Jewish nor the Arab Diaspora community hold a unified
position in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, but are each
comprised of both hawks and doves. Combining theoretical depth and
practical orientation, this book is a key resource for those
working in the fields of Middle Eastern studies, Peace and Conflict
Studies and Diapora Studies, as well as specialists on the ground
in Israel/Palestine and other conflict settings in which Diaspora
communities play a prominent role.
This edited volume analyses different forms of resistance against
international institutions and charts their success or failure in
changing the normative orders embodied in these institutions.
Non-state groups and specific states alike advocate alternative
global politics, at the same time finding themselves demonized as
pariahs and outlaws who disturb established systems of governance.
However, over time, some of these actors not only manage to shake
off such allegations, but even find their normative convictions
accepted by international institutions. This book develops an
innovative conceptual framework to understand and explain these
processes, using seven cases studies in diverse policy fields;
including international security, health, migration, religion and
internet politics. This framework demonstrates the importance of
coalition-building and strategic framing in order to form a
successful resistance and bring change in world politics.
