The Palestinian Hamas
Two Israeli experts show that, contrary to its image, Hamas is essentially a social and political movement, providing extensive community services and responding constantly to political realities through bargaining and power brokering.
Speaking Stones
The Intifada inspired a new kind of Palestinian radicalism, a radicalism borne on young shoulders, a radicalism that conducts its dialogue with Israel and the local population via the stone, the slingshot, the petro bomb, and the leaflet. The leaflets bring the people into the streets and instruct them what to do, and when, and how. They determine the boundaries of the permissible. If one wants to know why the Intifada erupted, what the Palestinians think and what they are fighting for, how they operate and how they perceive Israel, and whether there is anything to talk about, one should read the Palestinian leaflets.

Investment in Peace
The Israeli-Palestinian peace declaration of September 1993 and the Israeli-Jordanian peace treaty a year later have created a new reality in the Middle East and increased the likelihood of economic cooperation between Israel, Jordan, and the Palestinian Authority. Entrepreneurial economic cooperation among Israelis, Jordanians, and Palestinians can aid in the proliferation of peaceful settlements and serve as a means for increasing trust and durable coexistence. This book examines the political environment and bureaucratic cultures that underlie economic relations between the three parties, thereby providing a better understanding of the advantages and disadvantages of encouraging patterns of economic cooperation, the potential strategies that would lead to successful economic ventures, and the prospects for implementation. A prime conclusion drawn from the study is that strengthening political stability and peaceful coexistence in the Middle East can only take place by encouraging innovative modes of thinking with respect to economic cooperation. Various ideas are put forward in order to begin "Investing in Peace".
Understanding Shiite Leadership
In this book, Shaul Mishal and Ori Goldberg explore the ways in which Shiite leaderships in Iran and Lebanon approach themselves and their world. Contrary to the violent and radical image of religious leaderships in the Islamic Republic of Iran and Lebanese Hizballah, the political vision and practice of these leaderships view the world as a middle ground, shying away from absolutist and extremist tendencies. The political leadership assumed by Shiite religious scholars in Iran and Lebanon has transformed Shiite Islam from a marginalized minority to a highly politicized avant garde of Muslim presence, revitalized the practice and causes of political Islam in its struggle for legitimacy and authority, and reshaped the politics of the Middle East and the globe in its image. Utilizing approaches from social theory, history, theology, and literary criticism, the book presents these leaderships as pragmatic, interpretative entities with the potential to form fruitful relationships between Shiite leadership and the non-Shiite world.
