Peace, Patterns, Possibilities
Contents:
The analysis presented is fairly sound and fairly offers competing points of view, though the zero-sum mentality attributed to both sides pp applies much more to the Arab position; Israelis have consistently argued that peace would be mutually beneficial - not zero-sum but "growing the pie". Constructive ambiguity allows the parties to talk and deal with some issues, but, for better or worse, mask irreconcilable differences that may or may not go away, Palestinian sovereignty being one such example where attitude movement has occurred.

The Peace Puzzle: America's Quest for Arab-Israeli Peace, – Peace Process: American Diplomacy and the Arab-Israeli Conflict since As with the first edition, the second edition of Negotiating Arab-Israeli Peace is extremely well-written.
The last words are left to Israeli Ze'ev Maoz who urges his people to be as daring in peace as they have been in war, and Palestinian Sari Nusseibheh who echoes his father's observation that rubble makes the best building material. Alas both observations are someone superficial but at least they offer hope that those of good will can learn to live with a negotiated result. The problem may be that the examples the book covers may not reflect the patterns of the "Arab Spring".
The insights required may instead come from the era of pan-Arabism and Nasserism from the late 's until , which are skipped over.
