Women and Peace Negotiations
Despite the global norm favoring women’s participation in peace negotiations, women continue to face constraints in accessing, influencing, and benefitting from peace settlements. This special issue of International Negotiation lays the groundwork for a future research agenda, calling for attention to gender-based analysis; mixed-method research designs, comparative case studies, and attention to “negative” cases; more examination of the relation…
Obstacles and Possibilities for Peace between Israel and Palestine
There have been various obstacles to resolution of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict since the United Nations resolved to partition Palestine into a Jewish state and an Arab state. Some of these obstacles have been psychological, with both sides contesting the identity and narrative of the other. More concrete barriers have been the many settlements built by Israel in the occupied West Bank, including East Jerusalem, since 1967, totaling today ove…

Galia Golan: An Academic Pioneer on the Soviet Union, Peace and Conflict Studies, and a Peace and Feminist Activist
Deception and Israeli Peacemaking since 1967
The failure to resolve the Arab-Israeli conflict for many years has often been attributed in significant part to the absence of trust in the sincerity of the other side and, more specifically, to the recalcitrant nature of the opponent. Analyses of past proposals and actual negotiations have pointed out missed opportunities, possibly the result of misperceptions or misunderstandings. Recent archival research, publications, and interviews regardin…
Spoiling and Coping with Spoilers
Getting the Job Done
Inasmuch as the 2015 Israeli elections brought to power a Netanyahu-led coalition even more ideologically opposed to the creation of a Palestinian state than the previous coalitions, the absence of political will to reach agreement would appear to prejudge the outcome of any future negotiations should they take place. For this reason, recommendations to improve American mediation efforts remain in the realm of theory, but nevertheless may provide…
The Israeli‐Palestinian Conflict
Israeli Peacemaking Since 1967
Examining the Israeli-Arab conflict as an "intractable conflict," Israeli Peacemaking since 1967 seeks to determine just which factors, or combination of factors, impacted on Israel's position in past peace-making efforts, possibly accounting for breakthroughs or failures to reach agreement. From King Hussein's little known overtures immediately after the Six-Day War, through President Sadat's futile efforts to avoid war in the early 1970s, to re…

Non-State Actors in the Middle East
As the recent revolutions in the Middle East have demonstrated, civil society in this part of the world is on the move. The increasingly important role of non-state actors - a phenomenon of globalization- has characterized developments throughout the region, affecting the struggle for democracy and for peace. This volume brings together scholars primarily form the region to analyse the varied activities and contributions of NGOs, the private sect…
Asymmetry in Cross-Conflict Collaboration
Asymmetry of power is an acknowledged phenomenon in negotiation, and there are a number of devices for dealing with it. Similarly, alternative dispute resolution seeks to neutralize asymmetry of power by using an interest-based model of cross-conflict collaboration, but research has indicated that asymmetry persists nonetheless. The role of gender in negotiation has been researched, and to a far lesser degree, also with regard to alternative disp…
A (Dubious) Conspiracy Theory of the 1967 War
The origins of the June 1967 Arab-Israeli war have been a source of discussion and varying interpretations since the event itself. Although there was no dearth of warlike rhetoric from Arab states including Egypt in the 1960s, even particularly in 1966, there was little reason to believe that Gamal Abdel Nasser actually planned to go to war at that time. In inter-Arab discussions, he repeatedly expressed the position that neither Egypt nor the Ar…
Israel and Palestine
The Oslo Accords, inaugurated with the historic Rabin-Arafat handshake on the White House lawn, marked a promising breakthrough for resolution of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. These Accords, however, turned out to be but the first in a series of numerous proposals and plans over the next ten years, all designed to cope with repeated failures and disappointments as well as the major issues of the conflict itself. Golan explores these plans and…

The Soviet Union and the Outbreak of the June 1967 Six-Day War
The Soviet Union's transfer of false information to Egypt about alleged Israeli troop concentrations facing Syria in May 1967 is still considered a major factor in the outbreak of the June 1967 Mideast War. Soviet motivations and expectations, however, remain a topic of dispute. New information has become available over the past fifteen years, primarily through interviews and memoirs but also through the release of some important Soviet documents…

Russia and the Iraq War
Although Russian President Vladimir Putin has been faced with numerous crises since coming to office in 2000, most importantly the war in Chechnya, the Iraq War was the first major international crisis with which his administration was confronted. As in the case of Kosovo for Yeltsin, and the Gulf War for Gorbachev, the Russian President had to deal with conflicting domestic pressures and apparently still more conflicting Russian national and int…
Counseling Psychology in Israel
This article discusses the status of counseling psychology in Israel in the context of its unique characteristics. Despite the respected status of psychology as a profession in Israel and its overall acceptance and involvement in numerous social issues, counseling psychology as a separate specialty is nonexistent, especially because of resistance to the clinical psychology specialty. In addition to general subjects where counseling may be applied…

Gorbachev's Difficult Time in the Gulf
Mikhail Gorbachev's political for foreign policy was tested and stretched to its limits in the 1990-1991 Persian Gulf crisis; it may have been stretched beyond its limits. New thinking posited a world of interdependent states and, therefore, international relations devoid of ideology, East-West competition, and the zero-sum game approach characteristic of the cold war. These ideas dictated Soviet behavior in the early stages of the Gulf crisis, w…

The Soviet Union and the Israeli action in Lebanon
The Soviet Union may have some questions to answer from its friends and allies in the Middle East at the close of the current crisis in Lebanon. Given the massive material and political support Moscow has accorded both Syria and the Palestine Liberation Organization in the past, it is possible that they, or at least groups amongst their supporters and the public at large, expected something more than the virtual inaction of the Soviet Union.

Youth and Politics in Czechoslovakia
It would be inaccurate to see the 'revival' in Czechoslovakia in terms of a conflict of generations, or to attribute to this the radical changes of those startling eight months, for the issues were not specifically generational; more important, the forces in the struggle for power and leadership were not the young versus the old. Such a characterization was vigorously denied by Ota Sik in an interview immediately after the crucial central committ…

Galia Golan's concise but richly detailed monograph gives us the first look at Soviet policy toward terrorism under Gorbachev. Drawing on a wide array of Soviet sources, Dr. Golan traces the evolution in Soviet attitudes toward terrorism and support for movements of national liberation from Brezhnev to Gorbachev. She focuses specifically on the change in Soviet public positions toward a more explicit condemnation of terrorist acts. The debate is …
