(JØrgen Jensehaugen, Journal of Peace Research, February 18, 2016) Long Description Based on newly declassified documents, Jimmy Carter and the Middle East offers a provocative analysis of Carters role as diplomat-in-chief in the Arab-Israeli conflict during his single-term presidency. As the first US leader to articulate a position on the Palestinian question and deal with a conservative Israeli government, and the only one to mediate a peace treaty between Israel and an Arab state, Carter left an indelible mark on the conflict. His efforts led to the effervescent triumph of the 1978 Camp David Accords and the dramatic 1979 Egypt-Israel Peace Treaty, but his central role serves as a cautionary tale about the political constraints on a presidents ability to conduct foreign policy. Against the background of splintering domestic coalitions and shifting geopolitical challenges, battles with the press, Congress, and pro-Israeli lobby groups like AIPAC further undermined Carters labors. Review Quote This book makes a critical contribution to our understanding of American foreign policy in the 1970s, an understudied period particularly relevant to the understanding of contemporary Egyptian-Israeli relations and the Israeli-Palestinian stalemate. The book focuses on American attitudes (as shaped and reinforced in the news media) toward the Middle East and its people. Indeed, it is from these broader societal conditions that foreign policy itself springs. Strieff shows that whenever the president becomes directly involved in diplomatic initiatives, politics never stops at the proverbial waters edge.--Fawaz Gerges, Professor of International Relations at London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE), UK, and author of Obama and the Middle East: The End of Americas Moment? This book offers a useful and original contribution to its field, including analyses (such as that of the 1977 Communique and the warplanes sales) which break new ground. The sheer scholarly weight of the study constitutes a landmark work of academic analysis in the area. A vital point of reference for future researchers in the area.--John Dumbrell, Professor of Government, Durham University, UK Details ISBN113749946X Author Daniel Strieff Series Middle East Today Language English ISBN-10 113749946X ISBN-13 9781137499462 Media Book Format Hardcover Year 2015 Short Title PRESIDENTIAL DIPLOMACY & ITS D Imprint Palgrave Macmillan Subtitle The Politics of Presidential Diplomacy Place of Publication Basingstoke Country of Publication United Kingdom Publication Date 2015-08-04 Pages 270 Edition 1st AU Release Date 2015-08-04 NZ Release Date 2015-08-04 UK Release Date 2015-08-04 Illustrations XI, 270 p.
