Governance and Security in Jerusalem is the second in a series of three books which collectively present in detail the work of the Jerusalem Old City Initiative, or JOCI, a major Canadian-led Track Two diplomatic effort, undertaken between 2003 and 2014. The aim of the Initiative was to find sustainable governance solutions for the Old City of Jerusalem, arguably the most sensitive and intractable of the final status issues dividing Palestinians and Israelis.
This book presents a collection of studies commissioned by the Initiative in aid of its work on the Special Regime. It is split into three parts, Part I provides background papers on governance and security issues; Part II presents Palestinian and Israeli partner perspectives on governance options for a special regime, and the Part III delivers partner perspectives on security studies for a special regime. The studies written by the Israeli and Palestinian partners provide important background and historical context for JOCI's work on security and governance. The position papers, presented in their original form, greatly influenced the development of the Special Regime governance model.
Offering a unique insight on a range of governance and security issues in Jerusalem, this book will be of great significance to the policy-making community and students and scholars with an interest in Middle East politics, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the Middle East peace process.
This second volume of The Jerusalem Old City Initiative is a negotiator’s dream – detailed chapters on legal arrangements, governance, security, and a creative architectural scheme for managing the flow of people and vehicles. Israeli, Palestinian and international experts have compiled all the raw material needed for serious negotiations to take place, and they have laid out artful, creative ideas for managing what many have thought to be intractable problems. Indeed, the authors in this volume have demonstrated that governance and security in Jerusalem’s Old City can be dealt with; it is now up to the politicians to muster the will to reach agreement, drawing on this wealth of material.
