Book Description
A critical examination of the history of US-Palestinian relations The United States has invested billions of dollars and countless diplomatic hours in the pursuit of Israeli-Palestinian peace and a two-state solution. Yet American attempts to broker an end to the conflict have repeatedly come up short. At the center of these failures lay two critical factors: Israeli power and Palestinian politics. While both Israelis and Palestinians undoubtedly share much of the blame, one also cannot escape the role of the United States, as the sole mediator in the process, in these repeated failures. American peacemaking efforts ultimately ran aground as a result of Washington’s unwillingness to confront Israel’s ever-deepening occupation or to come to grips with the realities of internal Palestinian politics. In particular, the book looks at the interplay between the U.S.-led peace process and internal Palestinian politics—namely, how a badly flawed peace process helped to weaken Palestinian leaders and institutions and how an increasingly dysfunctional Palestinian leadership, in turn, hindered prospects for a diplomatic resolution. Thus, while the peace process was not necessarily doomed to fail, Washington’s management of the process, with its built-in blind spot to Israeli power and Palestinian politics, made failure far more likely than a negotiated breakthrough. Shaped by the pressures of American domestic politics and the special relationship with Israel, Washington’s distinctive “blind spot” to Israeli power and Palestinian politics has deep historical roots, dating back to the 1917 Balfour Declaration and the British Mandate. The size of the blind spot has varied over the years and from one administration to another, but it is always present.

Book Description
Based on intensive interviews and observations in a scientifically selected sample of over 100 Israeli schools, this study presents a detailed picture of the characteristics of school curricula and cultures, and the attitudes and expectations of students, teachers, principals, and parents with regard to curriculum and school culture in the different kinds of schools in Israel. The findings of this study are documented in 190 tables and charts. The treatment of the educational issue is not easy, in part because every educational system must respond to four sets of demands whose importance is given different weight by different segments of the body politic. The four sets of demands are civilizational, social, parental, and individual student. Each is represented by a specific referent. This report presents a comprehensive study of the nature of the Israeli public educational system in the 1990s. This study aims to identify and describe the uniformity and diversity of school culture and curriculum in the Israeli education system today. It investigates three major questions: (1) To what extent does there exist a common basic curriculum in the Israeli school system today, and what are its characteristics?; (2) What distinctive subcultures are apparent in the Israeli educational system today? How does the curriculum reflect these distinctive subcultures?; and (3) Who controls curriculum decision making and development in the system today? The conceptualization of this study is guided by two sociological perspectives, the institutional perspective and the perspective of symbolic interaction, which have become important frameworks for analyzing the culture and curriculum of educational systems.
