Between the Israeli–Palestinian conflict and the east–west Pakistan struggle: a challenge to the conventional wisdom / Handelman, Sapir   Journal Article
Handelman, Sapir Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2012.
Summary/Abstract How to create a peacemaking change in the Israeli-Palestinian struggle? The consensus solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is a 'two-state solution', which means separation between two major identity groups. This paper points to the necessity to shift the emphasis in the peacemaking discussion. Instead of manufacturing solutions in a peacemaking laboratory, it would be better to focus on finding the social conditions that have the potential to create an effective peacemaking process. This paper suggests establishing a major Israeli-Palestinian public negotiating congress that has the potential to create a peacemaking revolution. The vision is based on the multi-party talks that had been conducted in Apartheid South Africa and Northern Ireland during the 'troubles' and the Minds of Peace Experiment - a small-scale Israeli-Palestinian public negotiating congress - that has been conducted in various locations around the world.

Contractualism: a contractarian approach to peace and conflict studies / Handelman, Sapir   Journal Article
Handelman, Sapir Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract How do we create an effective change in situations of intractable conflict where ordinary people are at the centre of the struggle? Distinguishing between top-down contractualism and bottom-up contractualism, this article presents the South African peace process of the 1990s as an example of top-down contractualism. In contrast, it raises the question as to whether bottom-up peace-making contractualism can emerge in the Israeli–Palestinian case.

Peacemaking in intractable conflict: a contractualist approach / Handelman, Sapir; Pearson, Frederic S   Journal Article
Pearson, Frederic S Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2014.
Summary/Abstract This article presents a contractualist approach to peace and conflict studies that grows out of classical paradigms in the field. The contractualist approach proposes a solution to intractable conflicts through processes such as a public negotiating congress to transform conflicting parties into a large peacemaking community. The vision of an ideal congress is based on the multi-party talks that had operated in South Africa and Northern Ireland during the 1990s. The challenge is to establish a similar peacemaking institution in cases such as the Israeli-Palestinian dispute where ordinary citizens are at the center of the struggle. This article includes theoretical background, analysis of relevant case studies, and lessons from the Minds of Peace Experiment, a small-scale Israeli-Palestinian public negotiating congress that has held sessions in various locations around the world.
