Economic and Political Impediments to Middle East Peace
Author: J.W. Wright Jr
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 0333994264
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 277
Book Description
The accords and protocols that underlie the Arab and Israeli peace agreements set into place economic policies and political processes so flawed that they are bound to fail. The chapters in this volume look at the diplomatic and historical precedents that have led to this situation and they debate - some cynically and some sympathetically - the reasons why the institutional structures and trade regimes the process has created are so weak. But for whatever reason, the structural flaws built into the Middle East peace process are not only biased toward the dominant players but against the people who most want peace.
