When Conflict Resolution Fails An Alternative to Negotiation and Dialogue: Engaging Radical Disagreement in Intractable Conflicts

'This well-informed and nuanced analysis offers one of the most incisive treatments of the Israel/Palestine conflict available. Among books in the field, there is really nothing quite like it.'
Alan Dowty, University of Notre Dame
 
'When Conflict Resolution Fails extends Ramsbotham's groundbreaking work on "radical disagreement". Using the Israeli-Palestinian conflict as its main case, it describes a form of "extended conflict resolution", built around ideas and practices of "strategic engagement", that challenges our understanding of the role of third parties and proposes what may be, ethically, the outer limits of conflict resolution itself. An important and necessarily sobering book.'
Kevin Avruch, George Mason University
