Approaches to Jewish-Arab Interreligious Dialogue and Peacebuilding

This publication presents a wide compendium of approaches to Jewish-Arab dialogue and conflict resolution from an interdisciplinary perspective based on political science, social psychology and cultural studies, integrating both theory and practice. It combines both qualitative analysis with quantitative empirical results based on case studies. It appeals to both researchers and practitioners. It promises to offer a treatment of innovative and timely themes such as religious diplomacy, interreligious dialogue and relationship building in Israeli mixed cities and the place of both idealism and realism or both power and dialogue in the advancement of inter-religious approaches to dialogue and cooperation between Jews and Arabs in the Middle East. The book also includes a focus on conflict resolution strategies rooted in the Jewish Political Tradition which is relevant to the larger discussion of religion, dialogue and conflict resolution.
