Sinopsis

The Israeli "security fence" (or "apartheid wall" in the formulation of critics) carving the West Bank into isolated cantonments and the de facto integration of the Israeli and Palestinian economies, among other "facts on the ground" have effectively killed off the possibility that the two-state solution long advocated as a solution to Israeli-Palestinian conflict can possibly lead to long term peace and security in the Middle East, argues Tilley (political science, Hobart and William Smith Colleges). She views a one-state plan as the only remaining option. Recognizing the major political impediments such a plan faces, she tries to show the obstacles as surmountable with discussion of what a single democratic state might actually look like and a critical questioning of the political assumptions of modern Zionism.

Reseña del editor

"A clear, trenchant book on a topic of enormous importance... Overall this is a courageous plungeinto boiling waters. If it helps propel forward a debate that has hardly begun in this country it willhave performed a signal scholarly and political function."--Tony Judt, New York University ." . . a pioneering text. . . . [A]s such it will take pride of place in a brewing debate."--Gary Sussman, Tel Aviv University "The One-State Solution" demonstrates that Israeli settlements have already encroached on the occupied territory of the West Bank and Gaza Strip to the extent that any Palestinian state in those areas is unviable. It reveals the irreversible impact of Israel's settlement grid by summarizing its physical, demographic, financial, and political dimensions. Virginia Tilley explains why we should assume that this grid will not be withdrawn--or its expansion reversed--by reviewing therole of the key political actors: the Israeli government, the United States, the Arab states, and the European Union. Finally, the book addresses the daunting obstacles to a one-state solution--including major revision of the Zionist dream but also Palestinian and other regional resistance--and offers some ideas about how those obstacles might be addressed. Virginia Tilley is Chief Research Specialist in the Democracy and Governance Division of the Human Research Council in Cape Town, South Africa.
