"Having observed earlier periods of determined, persistent,
creative and wise American diplomacy on the Arab-Israeli
conflict, we are left to ponder whether that kind of
American leadership and diplomatic wisdom can be recaptured.
We also are left to wonder whether the supportive domestic
environment in which previous administrations operated will
recur, or whether Congressional and public support for
Israel has limited administration options and thus changed
the very nature of the American role in the peace process.
Our overall conclusions in this volume represent a mix of
process, politics, and substantive lessons learned, offered
in the hope that a better understanding of the past can
inform future policy."-from The Peace
Puzzle Each phase of Arab-Israeli peacemaking has
been inordinately difficult in its own right, and every
critical juncture and decision point in the long process has
been shaped by U.S. politics and the U.S. leaders of the
moment. The Peace Puzzle tracks the American
determination to articulate policy, develop strategy and
tactics, and see through negotiations to agreements on an
issue that has been of singular importance to U.S. interests
for more than forty years. In 2006, the authors of
The Peace Puzzle formed the Study Group on
Arab-Israeli Peacemaking, a project supported by the United
States Institute of Peace, to develop a set of "best
practices" for American diplomacy. The Study Group conducted
in-depth interviews with more than 120 policymakers,
diplomats, academics, and civil society figures and
developed performance assessments of the various U.S.
administrations of the post-Cold War period. This book, an
objective account of the role of the United States in
attempting to achieve a lasting Arab-Israeli peace, is
informed by the authors' access to key individuals and
official archives.
