Economic and political impediments to Middle East peace : critical questions and alternative scenarios

The Middle East peace process has gone through various stages of development, but has been impaired at each step by an inability to overcome economic problems in the region. This book both chronicles this process and offers critical insights into the factors that impede progress toward regional peace. The volume, with a foreword by Queen Noor of Jordan, includes contributions from thirteen specialists who hold senior positions at universities, the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund and the European Union.
