The Middle East Since Camp David

<p>Since the Camp David agreements of September 1978, the Middle East has experienced a series of major military and political developments that have affected not just the nations of the region and the two superpowers, but the rest of the world as well. The fall of the Shah of Iran, the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, the Iraqi invasion of Iran, the assassination of Egyptian President Anwar Sadat, and the Israeli invasion of Lebanon--to name only a few events--have had a major impact. In this volume, a group of internationally recognized scholars, many of whom are present and former U.S. government officials, analyze these Middle Eastern developments from the perspectives of the superpowers, the region in general, and the five major actors during this period (Egypt, Israel, the PLO, Syria, and Iran). Although the individual authors speak from differing perspectives and viewpoints in their analyses, the book as a whole presents a balanced examination of the key developments in the volatile Middle East since Camp David.</p>

Having been returned to power in 1992 for the first time in 15 years, Israel's Labour Government has implemented dramatic changes in foreign policy and domestic politics, including recognition of the PLO and the signing of the Declaration of Principles. As a result, Israel's relations with the rest of the world have undergone revision and re-evaulation. Representing a broad spectrum of viewpoints, this work offers an analysis of current Arab-Israeli relations and Israeli politics. Contributors examine Israel's relations with the United States, the successor-states of the Soviet Union, the Palestinians and bordering Arab states, and also look closely at Israel's domestic politics.
