European Involvement in the Arab-Israeli Conflict
This Chaillot Paper examines European involvement in the Arab-Israeli conflict. It focuses on European Union involvement in the conflict, with special, but not exclusive, attention to EU involvement in the Israeli-Palestinian dimension of the conflict.
Islamist Radicalisation
"Issues relating to political Islam continue to present challenges to European foreign policies in the Middle East and North Africa. In this volume, European and regional experts analyse trends driving the radicalisation of political Islam as well as the contrary trend of de-radicalisation observed in some countries where Islamist parties have secured democratic political participation. The question underlying the book is whether the ED should engage more specifically with the 'moderate' Islamist parties, and at least recognise radical Islamist movements that achieve democratic electoral success and legitimacy, such as the Palestinian Hamas. Current EU policies are largely negative on both a...
Der israelisch-palästinensische Konflikt
Sah es nach dem Abkommen von Oslo Mitte der 90er Jahre fur einige Zeit so aus, als stunde der israelisch-palastinensische Konflikt vor seiner Losung, so ist diese Hoffnung in den vergangenen zwei Jahren weitgehend geschwunden. Nahezu taglich berichten Presse und Fernsehen von Selbstmordanschlagen radikaler Palastinenser und israelischen Vergeltungsaktionen in den besetzten Gebieten. Der aFriedensprozesso scheint unwiederbringlich zu Ende, neue Losungsansatze sind nicht zu erkennen. Der Band versucht, Hintergrunde und Zusammenhange in diesem oft unubersichtlichen Konflikt zu erhellen. Mit Beitragen von M. Asseburg, N. Bubis, S. Dorsch, Z. Elpeleg, A. Frangi, S. Hofmann, M. Junker, A. Martiny, S. Maul, E. Ottolenghi, A. Primor, A. Timm, P. Weyland, S. Witte, M. Zimmermann. (Franz Steiner 2003)
Becoming Madam Chancellor
The first English-language scholarly book to provide an overview of the Angela Merkel's career and influence.
The One State Reality
The One State Reality argues that a one state reality already predominates in the territories controlled by the state of Israel. The editors show that starting with the one state reality rather than hoping for a two state solution reshapes how we regard the conflict, what we consider acceptable and unacceptable solutions, and how we discuss difficult normative questions. The One State Reality forces a reconsideration of foundational concepts such as state, sovereignty, and nation; encourages different readings of history; shifts conversation about solutions from two states to alternatives that borrow from other political contexts; and provides context for confronting uncomfortable questions such as whether Israel/Palestine is an "apartheid state."
Euro-Mediterranean Relations After September 11
A comprehensive study of the nexus between democratization and security in the Mediterranean, which are seen as essentially complementary yet threatened by political trends witnessed since the September 2001 attacks. Contributors from a variety of European and Mediterranean countries address the impact of a restructured security system, Europe's effort to establish an autonomous security and defence policy, and attempts among the Mediterranean Partner Countries (MPCs) to build regional security regimes.
Armies of Arabia

Zoltan Barany explains the conspicuous ineffectiveness of Gulf militaries with a combination of political-structural and sociocultural factors. Following a brief exposition on their historical evolution, he explores the region's six armies of the region comparatively, through the lenses of military politics, sociology, economics, and diplomacy. The book'sthemes come together in the last chapter that critically evaluates the Saudi and Emirati armed forces' record in the on-going war in Yemen.
Arab Spring Challenges for Democracy and Security in the Mediterranean
This volume presents essential aspects of Mediterranean politics to be reconsidered in the light of the Arab upheavals since 2010. The focal point of the book is the question in how far European-Mediterranean relations are challenged by the various developments. It explores the relationship between security and democracy within the Arab countries and in European-Mediterranean relations. The ambiguity between the promotion of democratic values and the preservation of common interests in cooperation in economic and security affairs is stirred up by changing political actors and new conflictual constellations inside the Arab countries. All these changes evoke new challenges for all areas of the...
