In 1994 Jordan became the second Arab country to sign a peace agreement with Israel and set out to create a 'warm peace', and not just an end to hostilities. As such, the treaty sought to stimulate extensive networks of bilateral economic, cultural, societal and security relationships. Dona Stewart argues that, while the treaty itself remains intact, relations between the two states have far from fulfilled expectations. The decade that followed the treaty was turbulent, as the Oslo process collapsed, Rabin was assassinated, violence between Palestinians and Israel escalated and peace failed to deliver expected dividends to Jordan. Stewart approaches this subject through both Jordanian and Israeli perspectives, dissecting the challenges to establishing 'good neighbourly relations' and the obstacles that have prevented the idea of peace from filtering down from government and into the rest of society.

'Dona Stewart's short monograph adds a new and interesting dimension to the literature on Jordanian - Israeli relations... Among the more significant contributions in this book are the data that Stewart has collected on various aspects of normalization. In each aspect of bilateral relations, Stewart methodically chronicles a story of hopeful expectations and far fewer successful realities.' - Daniel C. Kurtzer, Lecturer and S. Daniel Abraham Professor in Middle Eastern Policy Studies, Princeton University; 'This volume is a lesson to would-be peacemakers: as Stewart points out, enduring peace requires constant nurturing and a continuing effort to compromise and make sacrifices. Her recommendations are realistic, as are her ultimately pessimistic forecasts for the road ahead. Ultimately this book is more than an account of Jordanian-Israeli exchanges since the 1994 Treaty was signed: it is more akin to a marriage guidance resource for peacemakers who seek the long-term happy ending.' - Asian Affairs (Journal of the Royal Society of Asian Affairs), March 2008
