Pathways to Peace The Multilateral Arab-Israeli Peace Talks

In this account, the author pieces together the details of a process that has so often been shrouded in secrecy. The multilateral talks involve some 40 countries meeting regularly to address the long-term issues that affect the Middle East, including arms control and economic development. The author discusses the nature of the process so far, how the talks have broken barriers between Israel and the Arab world, and makes a number of suggestions for strengthening the talks framework.
