The Geneva Accord
Author: Michael Lerner
Publisher: North Atlantic Books
ISBN: 9781556435379
Category : Arab-Israeli conflict
Languages : en
Pages : 166
Book Description
The Geneva Accord Establishes the Basis for a Fair, Legal, ethical, and militarily secure agreement between two semicontiguous states, Israel and Palestine, each acknowledging the other's history and cultural narratives and respecting the rights of minority populations. It defines Palestine as consisting of most of the West Bank and Gaza joined by a corridor, with its security guaranteed not by its own army but (chiefly) a multinational force. The Accord also provides a final status for both Jewish settlers and Palestinian refugees, compensating each individual or state for losses of territory. Part of the compensation from Israel will take into account the value of Israeli settlements transferred to the State of Palestine. This document, developed by representatives of the Israeli and Palestinian peoples and incorporating the key elements and points of agreement from the Oslo Accords and Camp David Summit, is the only present legitimate instrument seeking a resolution to the dispute between Israel and Palestine. Better than a road map without a destination, it is inevitable outcome, more or less, of all reasonable negotiation. Book jacket.

The Accord
Author: Keith Brooke
Publisher: infinity plus
ISBN:
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 452
Book Description
"One of the finest novels of virtual reality yet written" (SF Site) The Accord, a virtual utopia where the soul lives on after death and your perceptions are bound only by your imagination. This is the setting for a tale of love, murder and revenge that crosses the boundaries between the real world and this virtual reality. When Noah and Priscilla escape into the Accord to flee Priscilla's murderous husband, he plots to destroy the whole Accord and them with it. How can they hope to escape their stalker when he can become anything or anyone he desires and where does the pursuit of revenge stop for immortals in an eternal world? "The emotion-driven love triangle neatly complements the tech- and philosophy-heavy nature of the Accord, making this rumination on posthumous, posthuman love a rare treat." Publishers Weekly 5* review "Brooke's fifth science-fiction novel is an intelligent examination of the technological possibilities of VR and a brilliant dissection of how individuals and society will change when freed from material bounds. The Accord is not only Brooke's best novel to date, but one of the finest to broach the subject of virtual reality." The Guardian "A truly major sf work that should be considered for all eligible awards." SFF World "Keith Brooke's take on posthumanism is one of the best approaches of the subject I've ever seen." SF Signal "As well as being a masterful story, The Accord is a feat of daring and accomplished composition... Romantic, edgy, moving, tight and fast, The Accord is Keith Brooke on incandescent form and in an angry, sweary mood. The Accord offers a sense of obscene wonder the likes of which this reviewer might not have felt since Geoff Ryman's The Child Garden. This is Keith Brooke at his absolute best." Interzone "One of my favourite headfuck metaphysical sci-fi novels." James Everington, author of Falling Over

Iran Nuclear Accord and the Remaking of the Middle East
Author: Nader Entessar
Publisher: Rowman & Littlefield
ISBN: 1442271280
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 299
Book Description
Entessar & Afrasiabi’s Iran Nuclear Negotiations (Rowman & Littlefied, October 2015) offered a thorough analysis of the negotiation process between Iran and the 5+1 great powers about its nuclear program. This book essentially builds upon it, focusing this time on the final nuclear agreement, the ensuing debates around it, and its global and regional ramifications especially in the Middle East. The first section analyzes the agreement through the prism of international relations theories, using a constructivist-critical theory approach. This is followed by an overview of the intense debates in Iran, the West, and other parts of the world, on the nuclear agreement and its various pros and cons, not to mention the connected, yet separate Iran-IAEA agreement. The second section covers Iran’s foreign policy and its various priorities, looking in particular at the impact of the nuclear deal on the country’s external relations and orientations, contextualized in terms of pre-existing issues and concerns and the profound influence of the nuclear agreement on the perceptions of Iranian power in the region and beyond. Iran’s relations with its Arab, Turkish, Russian, and other neighbors are discussed, focusing on both the direct and indirect impact of the nuclear agreement on these relations, especially the paradoxical implications of the nuclear deal with respect to the non-nuclear crises in the Middle East, such as the Syria-Iraq crisis, and the re-alignments that have put Iran at the crossroads of East and West. Other issues covered include energy security, regional economic cooperation, the endemic sectarianism highlighted by Iran-Saudi competition, and the deadlock on the Middle East peace process. The third section then examines the issue of a Middle East nuclear weapons-free zone and the likely consequences of the Iran nuclear deal on this prospect, which, in turn, raises the issue of regional proliferation and counterproliferation. The last section explores some possible various scenarios and the challenges of implementation as a relatively long-term agreement, providing specific policy recommendations for the regional actors and the external powers that are stakeholders in the volatile Middle East.
