More than a dozen years after Israel and Jordan signed a peace treaty, the treaty itself remains intact, but relations between the two states, especially at the societal level, have not fulfilled expectations. Focusing primarily on the Jordanian perspective, Dona Stewart here examines the challenges involved over the last decade to create "good neighbourly relations."

Editorial Reviews

Review

'Dona Stewart's short monograph adds a new and interesting dimension to the literature on Jordanian - Israeli relations... Among the more significant contributions in this book are the data that Stewart has collected on various aspects of normalization. In each aspect of bilateral relations, Stewart methodically chronicles a story of hopeful expectations and far fewer successful realities.' - Daniel C. Kurtzer, Lecturer and S. Daniel Abraham Professor in Middle Eastern Policy Studies, Princeton University; 'This volume is a lesson to would-be peacemakers: as Stewart points out, enduring peace requires constant nurturing and a continuing effort to compromise and make sacrifices. Her recommendations are realistic, as are her ultimately pessimistic forecasts for the road ahead. Ultimately this book is more than an account of Jordanian-Israeli exchanges since the 1994 Treaty was signed: it is more akin to a marriage guidance resource for peacemakers who seek the long-term happy ending.' - Asian Affairs (Journal of the Royal Society of Asian Affairs), March 2008 --This text refers to the Paperback edition.
