Description - Democracy, Peace and the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict by Edy Kaufman
This work tests the relevance for resolving the Arab-Israeli conflict of the assumption that democratic countries do not wage war against one another. In the process, the authors address two fundamental questions: Can Israel remain democratic while facing recurrent wars and exercising military rule over a large disenfranchised population? And, can the Palestinians become a democratic polity, given the historical, religious and cultural obstacles they confront? The themes shared by the authors - Palestinian, Israeli, and US scholars - allow the expectation that the broad ideas and specific arguments found in the book could be instrumental to the peace process.
