Description: "This book attempts to fill the void in strategic studies literature on the Middle East by focusing on the 'new' security issues related to the Israeli-Palestinian context. The contributors to the volume come from a variety of cultural, political and religious backgrounds, whose common interest is in support of dialogue for peace and security for all the parties involved. Redefining security during times of crisis is a difficult, albeit necessary undertaking. This book envisages new concepts, policies and discourses about security at a time when it has become clear the old ones have become stagnant.

The contributors offer no singular approach, but suggest a broader and more inclusive terrain for discussion, debate and analysis of the possibilities and constraints for understanding conflict and conflict resolution in the region." "This book will be of vital use to students and scholars of Middle Eastern politics, as well as those interested in conflict analysis, critical security studies and peace studies."--Jacket.
