This book offers a critical review of contemporary literature on the Palestinian-Israeli negotiations. Its goal is to highlight the shortcomings of the methods that have been used to date to analyse the underlying causes that have led to a stalemate in the negotiation process. Further, it pursues an approach that considers the multiple factors that can influence the outcomes of the negotiation process. The book represents a substantial academic contribution to the field of conflict resolution by broadening the scope of the analytical framework that is needed to analyse the Palestinian-Israeli negotiations, and bridging the gap between theory and practice. Accordingly, it offers a valuable asset for researchers and students interested in political theory, Middle Eastern studies, international relations, conflict resolution studies, political science, negotiation theory, and contemporary Arab studies and Israeli studies.

The first book to broaden the analytical framework needed to analyse the Palestinian-Israeli negotiations Offers a comprehensive view on the reasons that have led the Palestinian-Israeli negotiations to deadlock, investigating the multiple factors that influenced the outcomes Presents a pioneering approach in matching the different phases of the process with relevant theoretical models
