| Title Proper | West Bank Areas A, B and C – How Did They Come into Being? |
| Language | ENG |
| Author | Singer, Joel |
| Summary / Abstract (Note) | This article tells the story of how and why, when negotiating the Israeli-Palestinian Oslo Accords in 1993–95, the author developed the concept of dividing the West Bank into three areas with differing formulas for allocating responsibilities between Israel and the Palestinian Authority in each. The origin of how these areas were named is also discussed. This negotiation demonstrates that parties are prepared to modify ideological positions when detailed and practical options are presented that constitute a hybrid to the parties’ former positions. |
