| Summary/Abstract |
Identity change in Israel has been an important factor in the changes that enabled the initiation of the peace process in the early 1990s. Identity change was related to new opportunities associated with globalization and a growing desire among middle and upper class Israelis for "normalization" or a lifestyle equivalent to western democracies. This so-called pragmatic perception entailed a cost-benefit view of the territories occupied in 1967 and was carried forward by an empowered business elite that since the mid-1980s sought to liberalize and globalize Israeli society. But this identity change remained at the elite level and alienated significant constituencies. Even among the elite, it had more to do with global opportunities and less with conflict resolution. This instrumental conception of peace was insufficient to sustain the Oslo process.

| Summary/Abstract |
Changes toward the de-territorialising of sovereignty and the corresponding emergence of various global institutions, associated with globalisation, can offer new incentives and possibilities for the resolution of seemingly intractable ethno-national conflicts, by rethinking them in a transnational context. Peace processes in Northern Ireland and Israel shared a common vision, associating conflict resolution with global integration, but differed profoundly in their structures, dynamics and outcomes. The Good Friday Agreement in Northern Ireland was based on a complex power-sharing model between Protestants and Catholics, which would supposedly allow both to express their national identity. On the other hand, the peace process between Israel and the Palestinians, despite the vision of the globalised ‘New Middle East’, was based on partition that would lead to the making of two separate states. The dynamics and outcomes of the peace processes in Israel/Palestine and Northern Ireland provide for a comparative study of these approaches in the wider context of globalisation and their contribution to the transformation of the conflict and, consequently, its stability.
