    Resolving the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict

    A Critical Study of Peace Negotiations, Mediation and Facilitation Between Israel and the PLO

    In Resolving the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict, Raphael Cohen-Almagor meticulously examines the underlying causes of the numerous failures surrounding efforts to resolve this enduring conflict. Drawing upon an extensive array of interviews with key figures who were 'in or around the room' during negotiation, mediation and facilitation efforts, he offers fresh insights that inform his vision for a viable framework to achieve a just and lasting peace. By integrating a highly diverse spectrum of perspectives, Professor Cohen-Almagor exemplifies his commitment to the Rawlsian veil of ignorance – an analytical approach he passionately advocates for in the quest for a just and sustainable resolution. This outstanding book is essential reading for anyone seeking a deep understanding of the complexities of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the potential pathways to peace.' Salam Fayyad, Former Palestinian Prime Minister, Visiting Senior Scholar and Lecturer/Distinguished Visitor in Foreign Affairs, Princeton University

    Liberalism, Culture and Coercion

    Confronting the Internet's Dark Side

    Moral and Social Responsibility on the Free Highway

    'The dramatic growth of internet technologies are creating a new era in democratic life, a crisis for the established media, and possibilities for participatory politics that challenge liberal institutions.
