Review Quotes: "The Arab-Israeli conflict remains one of the world's eternal problems, which is perhaps precisely why it risks to be pushed into the background at a time when a host of new crises is engulfing the Middle East. Costanza Musu's book could not be more timely in reminding us why it continues to be key to peace in the region - and what we can do about it." - Sven Biscop, Director, Europe in the World Programme, Egmont Institute, Brussels, BelgiumTable of Contents: IntroductionEuropean Political Cooperation and the Middle East ConflictThe EU and the Middle East Peace Process: From Hope to DespairThe EU Strategy for the Middle East Peace Process in the 9/11 EraEuropean Foreign Policy and the Arab-Israeli Peace ProcessThe Instruments of European Foreign Policy and their Use in the Case of the Arab-Israeli Peace ProcessTransatlantic Relations and the Middle EastConclusion "
