TH3.15.09 Understanding Jerusalem's Conflict: A Look at Jerusalem: The Spatial Politics of a Divided Metropolis by Anne B. Shlay and Gillad Rosen, 2015, Polity

This session will discuss the recent book: Jerusalem: The spatial politics of a divided city (Polity, 2015) by Anne B. Shlay and Gillad Rosen. The book explores the political and social struggles around control over space and development in Jerusalem, one of the world’s most important cities and the location of intense struggle. This panel will critically evaluate the contributions of the book. Is the book’s empirical focus on demystifying Jerusalem’s complexity useful in aiding the resolution of entrenched conflict? Does the book help to develop methods for enhancing the peace process? Ultimately, what does this book say about the future of this divided city and the possibility for a negotiated resolution?
