ISBN: 0415415926 ISBN-13: 9780415415927 Publisher: Routledge OUR PRICE: $152.00 Product Type: Hardcover - Other Formats Published: February 2007 Annotation: The Oslo secret negotiations from 1992 to 1993 were some of the most astonishing and also successful negotiations in the Middle East, leading to the mutual recognition between the PLO and Israel. Through an in-depth examination of the Oslo negotiations, this book argues that at the core of the negotiations was a fascinating dilemma of recognition. Overcoming this dilemma was at the centre of the secret negotiations. A thorough analysis documents how decision makers tried to communicate without being able to engage in face-to-face negotiations, and highlights the significance of the role of third parties in the conflict resolution process, stressing in particular the importance of the European Unions power in bringing the sides together. This is a comprehensive account of the Oslo negotiations, focusing particularly on the timely issue of non-recognition which is of great importance today given the recent emergence of the rise of Hamas as the dominant Palestinian political force. |
