| Summary: | Conflict Change and Persistence: The India-Pakistan and Arab-Israeli Conflicts Compared traces the roots of two of the longest and most severe enduring rivalries of our time, the India-Pakistan and Arab-Israeli conflicts. This book compares trends of development and change over time and examines their impact on the persistence of each conflict. Covering a wide range of historical events spanning seven decades in the two regions, including major militarized disputes and peace negotiations, this study finds variation in interstate relations and a significant increase in animosity between states and non-state players. It demonstrates how changes in the agenda and the identity discourse of the main actors involved in these conflicts have underminded the idea of a "two-state" solution, hindering the resolution of the persistent conflicts in south Asia and the Middle East. |
