The Jordanian-Palestinian-Israeli Triangle: Smoothing the Path to Peace : Forewords by Crown Prince El Hassan, Simon Peres - Softcover
Synopsis
In this study, a distinguished group of Middle East experts highlight the recent history of the peace agreements between the Triangle parties—Jordan, Palestine, and Israel—in socioeconomic, cultural, political, and psychological perspectives. The texts are wide-ranging and represent the most recent political ideas with respect to promoting the triangular “partnership.” International relations systems analysis sheds light on the tripolar system: Jordan is perceived as the natural balancer and pivot, since it has maintained close relations with the Palestinians, and simultaneously with the Zionist movement from the 1920s onwards. Noting that the Palestinians have yet to benefit from playing the game of triangular politics, the book shares how the U.S. is perceived as pushing for this goal, notwithstanding the objectives of the Likud party.
