This book offers an analysis of the dynamics of Israeli-European relations and discusses significant developments in that relationship from the late 1950s through to the present day. The emphasis is placed on five broad themes that address different dimensions of the relationship: 1) Israeli-E.U. relations and the Israeli-Palestinian peace process; 2) Israeli-E.U. relations in a multilateral context; 3) the bilateral nature of Israeli-E.U. relations; 4) Israeli (mis)perceptions of the E.U.; 5) the future of Israeli-E.U. relations.

West Europe played a crucial role in the creation of Israel in the midst of the Arab world, thus sowing the seeds of a stubborn conflict that has defied resolution even after the passage of six decades. It nurtured and protected Israel throughout its infancy, often at the expense of the dispossessed Palestinians, and it was only in the late sixties that the US took over this role from West Europe. The European Community countries which had been toeing the American line, took some years to develop a common policy on the Arab-Israeli issue as distinct from American policy. Historical realities, such as the unspeakable horrors of the holocaust made the West Europeans too timid to look at the issue in an unbiased manner. Physical nearness to the Middle East and energy dependence were important factors, which forced the Europeans to review their blatantly pro-Israeli stance in the seventies and adopt a semblance of balance in their policy towards the protagonists. With the world community through various UN resolutions having acknowledged the Palestinian issue as a core political and humanitarian problem in the Middle East, that needed to be resolved in a just and equitable manner, the Europeans were had-pressed to see it in a new light, and this was reflected in the various declarations and statements issued by the community, which with time become bolder. Nevertheless, a notable aspect of the European Union's policy on the Palestinian-Israeli issue is that on several occasions it has been poised to take a serious independent initiative to resolve the issue, but has been held back by Washington, which is determined to retain its predominant role in the region.

This book examines lobbying in EU foreign policy-making and the activities of non-state actors (NSAs), focusing on EU foreign policy on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. It sheds light on the interactions between the EU and NSAs as well as the ways in which NSAs attempt to shape EU foreign policies. By analysing issues that have not yet received systematic attention in the literature, this book offers new insights into lobbying in EU foreign policy, EU relations surrounding the conflict and the EU’s broader role in the peace process. The book will be of key interest to scholars and students of political science, international relations, EU politics, EU foreign policy-making, Middle East studies and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

This book analyses the present European Union (EU) approach to state-building, both in policy and operation. It offers a review of the literature on peace-building, EU state-building and conflict resolution, before examining in detail the EU’s role as a state-builder in the case of the Occupied Palestinian Territories following the 1993 Oslo Accords. Drawing on extensive fieldwork and over 140 interviews carried out in Brussels, London, Jerusalem and Ramallah with EU, Palestinian and Israeli officials as well as academics, members of NGOs and civil society, the author evaluates the present approach of state-building and offers a framework to test the effectiveness of the EU as a state-builder. Examining security sector reform, judiciary sector reform and the rule of law, the book brings the ‘voices from the field’ to the forefront and measures the contribution of the EU to state-building against a backdrop of on-going conflict and a polarised social setting. This book will be of interest to students and scholars of international relations, EU politics, Middle Eastern politics, conflict resolution and state-building.

This book explores and analyses the various factors that affected the formulation of the common EU policy towards the Middle East Peace Process (MEPP), as well as the specifics of the process by which the EU created EUPOL COPPS and EUBAM Rafah. It answers two central questions: firstly, why and how did the EU decide to create and deploy these missions? Secondly, where do these two missions fit into the general EU approach to the conflict in the Middle East? Based on confidential interviews with various actors in the process, uniquely granted to the author, it reveals the mechanics of decision-making behind the scenes and argues that the EU decision to expand its role in the MEPP, through the creation of the two missions, was closely related to the EU’s defined common interests in the Middle East. Further it shows, the missions were, mainly, the result of the EU’s already established approaches to further its role in the international political arena. This text will be of key interest to scholars and students of European foreign policy, EU Politics, Middle East politics and studies, foreign policy analysis, and more broadly to international relations.
