Peace building in Israel and Palestine

Descripción

This book brings together social psychology understandings with grassroots peace-building initiatives in the Israeli-Palestinian context. For 40 years, researchers have explored the reasons for the conflict and its impacts, while Israeli and Palestinian civil society actors have undertaken joint peace-building activities.Peace-Building in Israel and Palestine offers an in-depth look at psycho-social research on the conflict and presents and analyzes diverse grassroots activities: joint research, women’s social-economic empowerment, dialogue groups, political tourism, and peace-building efforts between Israelis and Palestinians from Gaza. The book offers new conceptualizations concerning the co-creation of a socially just Israeli-Palestinian grassroots peace process.
