Spiegel serves as Director of the Center for Middle East Development at UCLA. Through the innovative and informal negotiation techniques he has developed, Dr. Spiegel helps produce cutting edge ideas for promoting Middle East regional security and cooperation. He received the Karpf Peace Prize in 1995, awarded to the UCLA professor considered to have done the most of any faculty member for the cause of world peace in the previous two years. He received his Ph.D. from Harvard University in 1967, having joined the UCLA faculty the previous year. During this time he has written over 100 books, articles and papers. Professor Spiegel is co-author of The Peace Puzzle: America's Quest for Arab-Israeli Peace from 1989-2011. He is also the author of a major international relations textbook, World Politics in a New Era; the sixth edition is currently being prepared for Oxford University Press. Steven Spiegel is at work on a book on American-Israeli relations, is the editor-in-chief of the Routledge UCLA Center for Middle East Development series on Middle East security and cooperation, and authored The Other Arab-Israeli Conflict: Making America's Middle East Policy, from Truman to Reagan. The Other Arab-Israeli Conflict illuminates the controversial course of America's Middle East relations from the birth of Israel to the Reagan administration. Skillfully separating actual policymaking from the myths that have come to surround it, Spiegel challenges the belief that American policy in the Middle East is primarily a relation to events in that region or is motivated by bureaucratic constraints or the pressures of domestic politics. On the contrary, he finds that the ideas and skills of the president and his advisors are critical to the determination of American policy. This volume received the 1986 National Jewish Book Award.
