Tough choices or new disasters
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
The first part covers domestic constraints on the way to a peaceful settlement. It's good, after all it's the internal situation that sets some of the limits on what the parties can or cannot do. The second part covers obstacles to a comprehensive peace in the Middle East. This part is better than the first but ignores population growth in Jordan, West Bank and Gaza, which is unforgivable, while stresses its importance in Egypt, which is right. Social friction is not well presented, perhaps the authors are less familiar with cultural issues than with strategy. The book reminds that there are still plenty of possible clashing interests in the region. This is a good thing since people easily forget things that are not immediate threats. Raises a lot of questions.
