Product Description Twelve contributions from Palestinian and Israeli lawyers and scholars identify and assess areas of common interest. The range of strategic issues covered includes history and law, key international treaties, the domestic dimensions of the peace process, water arrangements, economic issues, and the legal institutions which are being created. The authors show how the traditional opposition of Israeli and Arab views may be giving way to a common, informed reflection of modes of coexistence primarily determined by law.
