Title: Israel's Quest for Recognition and Acceptance in Asia
Description: This title represents a comprehensive study of Israel's attempts to build diplomatic relations with countries on the Asian continent. Dr Abadi argues that, despite the persistence of the Arab Israeli conflict, the Israeli Foreign Ministry was remarkably successful in gaining recognition in most Asian countries. Israeli success was the result of a number of international developments, including the collapse of the Soviet Union, which left the USA as the only global superpower; the onset of the peace process, which reduced the risk of association with Israel; and Israel's ability to share its technological achievements with Asian states. Dr Abadi provides an overview of Israel's relations with Asian countries from 1948 until the present, and analyses the political, social and economic factors in each country and the role that each played in the process of rapprochement with Israel. He explores the reasons for Israel's successes as well as its failures, and analyses the flaws in Israeli diplomacy.
