Reconciliation Between Nations: Overcoming Emotional Deterrents to Ending Conflicts Between Groups
In Langholtz, Harvey and Stout, Chris E. (Eds.), The Psychology of Diplomacy , New York, NY: Praeger.
Arie comments this chapter as follows: The empirical paper which Tamar wrote is reported (in part) in the chapter. It is an analysis of the pitfalls in reciprocal assistance in "joint Israeli-Palestinian projects". It basically asked the question: Which projects survived and continued despite the tensions of the Intifada, and which folded? It does say a lot about equality in giving and receiving assistance (the hallmark of true cooperation). Unfortunately, it was published in an Israeli journal (in Hebrew). But the chapter may still be relevant.
