Matthew Levitt to MESH:
This book provides an analytical framework to study the changes in the negotiating environment that result from acute security crises in ongoing negotiations. Understanding how decision-makers perceive such attacks, and the means by which they undermine the legitimacy of peace negotiations, provides the foundation for a practical set of recommendations to preemptively insulate peace talks from acts of terror that are bound to occur, and a theory of crisis management on how to contain them when they do. The book discusses terrorist attacks but is not about terrorism. And despite the downward trajectory of the Israeli-Palestinian peace process, this is an optimistic study. That’s because the book is not really about that particular conflict. As an academic discourse on resolving protracted social conflicts, it gives reason to hope.
