Editorial Reviews

Analyzes the boycott from its institution in 1946, before the state of Israel was officially founded, until it began to disintegrate in the aftermath of the Madrid Peace Conference of 1991. Looks at the theory, practice, and legality of the sanctions and includes American, Arab, European, and Israeli perspectives. Also considers prospects for economic relations and cooperation in light of the blossoming peace in the Middle East. Distributed in the US by ISBS. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
