Palestinian and Israeli Public Opinion
Palestinian and Israeli Public Opinion is based on a unique project: the Joint Israeli-Palestinian Poll (JIPP). Since 2000, Jacob Shamir and Khalil Shikaki have directed joint surveys among Israelis and Palestinians, providing a rare opportunity to examine public opinion on two sides of an intractable conflict. Adopting a two-level game theory approach, Shamir and Shikaki argue that public opinion is a multifaceted phenomenon and a critical player in international politics. They examine how the Israeli and Palestinian publics' assessments, expectations, mutual perceptions and misperceptions, and overt political action fed into domestic policy formation and international negotiations -- from the failure of the 2000 Camp David summit through the second Intifada and the elections of 2006. A discussion of the study's implications for policymaking and strategic framing of future peace agreements concludes this timely and informative book.
Palestinian Relations with the Arab World
Shikaki's paper examines the evolution of the Palestinian National Movement, concentrating particularly on seminal historical events such as the 1967 and 1973 Wars, the demise of the Soviet Union, the Second Gulf War, the Oslo Accord, and their political impact on the Palestinian diaspora. Indeed, Shikaki sheds light on the stark political realities currently facing the Palestinian people. Given the circumstances of the past thirty years and the Palestinian search for political, moral and material support, Shikaki questions the direction in which the Palestinians will eventually be pulled, perhaps towards Israel, east to Jordan, or to the wider Arab world?

Providing an overview of key developments in the history of the conflict, it explores attempts at resolution, before going on to portray the perspectives of the important parties.
