Synopsis
This special issue, sponsored by the Middle East Economic Association is the first thematic volume offered in this series. Devoted to the thorny topic of the economic dimensions of peace in the Middle East, it is hoped that this book will clarify some of the main issues confronting different Middle Eastern actors in a post-Oslo world and provide a basis for further inquiry and exploration.
