We also are left to wonder whether the supportive domestic environment in which previous administrations operated will recur, or whether Congressional and public support for Israel has limited administration options and thus changed the very nature of the American role in the peace process. Our overall conclusions in this volume represent a mix of process, politics, and substantive lessons learned, offered in the hope that a better understanding of the past can inform future policy."-from The Peace Puzzle Each phase of Arab-Israeli peacemaking has been inordinately difficult in its own right, and every critical juncture and decision point in the long process has been shaped by U.S. politics and the U.S. leaders of the moment. The Peace Puzzle tracks the American determination to articulate policy, develop strategy and tactics, and see through negotiations to agreements on an issue that has been of singular importance to U.S. interests for more than forty years. In 2006, the authors of The Peace Puzzle formed the Study Group on Arab-Israeli Peacemaking, a project supported by the United States Institute of Peace, to develop a set of "best practices" for American diplomacy. The Study Group conducted in-depth interviews with more than 120 policymakers, diplomats, academics, and civil society figures and developed performance assessments of the various U.S. administrations of the post-Cold War period. This book, an objective account of the role of the United States in attempting to achieve a lasting Arab-Israeli peace, is informed by the authors' access to key individuals and official archives. 606 $aArab-Israeli conflict$y1993-$xPeace 606 $aArab-Israeli conflict$y1993-$xDiplomatic history 607 $aUnited States$xForeign relations$zMiddle East 607 $aMiddle East$xForeign relations$zUnited States 615 0$aArab-Israeli conflict$xPeace. 615 0$aArab-Israeli conflict$xDiplomatic history. 676 $a956.05/4 700 $aKurtzer$b Daniel C., $0732458 701 $aKurtzer$b Daniel$0732458 712 02$aUnited States Institute of Peace, 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910779664703321 996 $aThe Peace puzzle$93698551 997 $aUNINA
