The Middle East Peace Process : Vision versus Reality Hardback

Political stability is a crucial precondition for peace in the Middle East.

In The Middle East Peace Process: Vision versus Reality, Joseph Ginat, Edward J.

Perkins, and Edwin G. Corr have assembled a comprehensive overview of the complex peace negotiations taking place among Middle Eastern nations to resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and forge normal relations between Arab nations and Israel.More than thirty academics and practitioners probe, discuss, and engage themselves with issues concerning the peace process.

The volume focuses first on the Oslo Agreement and the Palestinian Track; then addresses Israeli relations with Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, and Iraq; and concludes with an examination of relations between Israelis and Palestinians in Jerusalem. The Middle East Peace Process is the result of the Center for Peace Studies conference ""The Peace Process in the Middle East,"" cosponsored by the International Program Center at the University of Oklahoma and the University of Haifa in Israel.

The volume features a foreword by HRH Prince El Hassan bin Talal of Jordan and a preface by David L.

Boren, President of the University of Oklahoma.
