Beschreibung

This textbook examines the diplomatic and historical setting within which the Arab-Israeli conflict has developed and gives students the opportunity to study the Middle East peace process through a presentation of primary documents that have been instrumental in the development of the conflict from the mid1800s through the present. This third edition includes an updated and expanded introduction and a significant expansion of the number of documents. The Arab-Israeli Conflict:

* includes an extensive introductory chapter which presents the history of the conflict and covers events from the nineteenth century to the present day

* presents 120 of the most important and widely cited documents in the history of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in an edited form to highlight key elements

* incorporates a number of pedagogical aids, including the (edited) original documents, maps, and boxed sections that offer greater explanation of detailed topics

* presents "both sides" of the argument, allowing students to understand both the Israeli and the Palestinian positions on the issues

This important textbook is an essential aid for courses on the Arab-Israeli conflict and the Middle East peace process and will be an invaluable reference tool for all students of political science, Middle East studies, and history.

Rezensionen / Stimmen

"By compiling such an extensive and thorough collection of primary documents relating to both the Arab-Israeli and Palestinian-Israeli conflicts, Gregory Mahler has performed a great service for scholars and students. This updated edition, with some new recent documents in it, will be an invaluable resource for anyone teaching or learning about these long-running conflicts."

Dov Waxman, Rosalinde and Arthur Gilbert Foundation Professor of Israel Studies and Director of the UCLA Y&S Nazarian Center for Israel Studies, University of California, Los Angeles

"Mahler's volume offers readers key maps and well selected documents that are essential for understanding Israel's conflict with the Arabs. A lively introduction provides historical context and unpacks a number of important controversies regarding this complex and still-unresolved dispute. Well designed to complement historical textbooks."

Neil Caplan, Affiliate Faculty Member, Department of History, Concordia University, Montreal

Gregory Mahler's third edition of The Arab-Israeli Conflict: An Introduction and Documentary Reader is a welcome updated edition of a collection of documents related to the history of the Arab-Israeli conflict from the rise of Zionism at the end of the 19th century until the signing of the Abraham Accords in 2020. These primary sources constitute an essential and useful tool for teachers and students interested in meticulously studying the evolution of the Arab-Israeli conflict. Carefully chosen to represent a balanced account, these documents reflect the complexity of the conflict and attest to its intractability."

Elie Podeh, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem
