Buch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This edited book aims to offer a comprehensive analysis of the preceding and ongoing development of the Israel-Gaza war, using a multidisciplinary approach. The chapters, written by scholars of the Middle Eastern studies, political science, anthropology, an…d international law, investigate the root causes of the eruption of the war, taking a viewpoint from within. Hamas s attack on Israel on October 7, 2023 caused deep shockwaves throughout the world. While the developments seemed unprecedented, the question remains whether it was an unpredictable total surprise. Given the context surrounding Palestine and Israel, it is likely that there were inherent elements in the preceding political environment that led to the current humanitarian disaster and quagmire of the battle. The assumption is that the existence of fragile stability might have caused the October 7 attack. What kind of fragility and robustness of the framework existed in the political, social, legal, and international conditions How did these conditions affect the conduct of the actors in this region ultimately leading to the current situation What challenges are likely to emerge in this region in the near future This book addresses these questions from various perspectives. For the best clarification of the questions, authors include experts in American studies who discuss the diplomatic intervention of the United States, a former judge of the International Criminal Court who explores the role of international law in the conflict, and a legal advisor to the Oslo Peace Process who provides understanding the deep roots of the conflict. The analysis of this volume will provide an in-depth understanding of the background of the October 7 attack and contributes to the theoretical development of the concept of fragile stability, which can be applied to examine other cases of conflict. Fragile Stability provides a compelling and in-depth historical account of the background that proceeded Hamas assault on October 7, 2023, and how it led to an unprecedented upsurge of violence in Gaza, one of the darkest moments in human history. A must-read for those who wish not only to understand the Palestinian-Israeli conflict but also to envision ways of resolving it. --- Sari Hanafi, Professor, American University of Beirut, LebanonThis topical edited volume includes a very important collection of essays addressing the political background and general context that led to the catastrophic Israel-Hamas War of 2023-2025, providing clues to make sense of the Hamas assault of October 7, 2023, followed by the Israeli military reaction in the Gaza Strip and the spread of the war in the region. Its unique contribution stems from different levels of analysis: several chapters refer to the domestic political landscapes in both Israel and Palestine, examining the numerous cleavages among and within both societies. In addition, the scope of the analysis broadens by referring also to international law and other relevant international actors, including the United States and Iran.--- Arie M. Kacowicz, Professor, Hebrew University of Jerusalem, IsraelThis volume showcases the critical insights and scholarship of Japanese scholars of the Middle East about the causes and consequences of the October 7 Hamas attack on Israel and the war which followed. With close studies of both Palestinian and Israeli politics, Fragile Stability makes a compelling case for an analytical framework which helps make sense of.
