Negotiating indivisible goods: The case of Jerusalem

In: The Jerusalem journal of international relations, Band 13, Heft 1, S. 45-76

Abstract

Focusing on the case of Jerusalem this article analyzes different types of "indivisibles" and explores a range of strategies for resolving conflicts over indivisibles through negotiations. The focus on Jerusalem as an ethnic conflict leads to an emphasis on mainstream Palestinian and Israeli views and proposals (among others the plan of Mayor Kollek), and on what these tend to see as the central aspects of the problem: sovereignty, municipal powers, and the Old City, including the holy places.
