Arab and Jewish U.S. college students are impacted by the Israeli/Palestinian (I/P) conflict and heated interactions among students have erupted across campuses. There is a dearth of research on Arab American student perspectives on this conflict and on their interactions with Jewish students in higher education settings. This study seeks to further our understanding of these topics by reporting on a quantitative survey of Arab American college students (n=66). We examined dependent variables of Arab students seeking education on the I/P conflict, and interest in collaborating with Jewish students for peace. Independent variables were gender, religion, having Jewish friends, learning about Jewish history of oppression, growing up in Arab schools and communities, and parents' and own views about Palestine. Multiple regression analysis indicates being male, believing Palestine is important, learning about Jewish history of oppression, and having parents with pro-Palestinian and anti-Israel attitudes predicted students' seeking out education about the conflict. Being male, Christian, having friends who are Jewish and wanting opportunities to talk with Jews about the conflict predicted higher interest in Arab students' wanting to collaborate with Jewish students for peace. Implications for working with these two groups on college campuses given both the tensions in the Middle East and experiences of Arab American college students are discussed and future recommendations are made for educational settings.

"More than two decades after the Northern Ireland peace agreement, conflict still flares between deprived Protestant/Unionist/ Loyalist and Catholic/Nationalist/Republican working-class interface communities, who remain divided by numerous 'peace walls'. In light of Brexit, the Irish border issue and the power-sharing impasse progress in local peacebuilding has stalled. This might even jeopardise the overall peace process. Within this context, this book explores, largely empirically, the nature and causes of conflict at the interface. An attempt is also made to provide an outlook on peace in Northern Ireland and to highlight potential lessons for other conflict-ridden, divided societies."--

This article intends to answer whether or not it is possible to determine a cause-effect relationship between the previous behavior of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia and the performance of the Farc Party in the local elections of 2019. This work applies a qualitative methodology based on documental review, a triangulation with secondary sources and spatial analysis of electoral and armed conflict variables using the software ArcGis. This research finds that the languid electoral performance of the party created from the Peace Accords of 2016 is related with the fact that the choice of the municipalities where this political group presented candidates was not strategic. In fact, as part of the findings it is revealed that two thirds of these municipalities correspond to scenarios with the highest levels of intensity of the armed conflict and the lowest level of participation of the Farc party in the competition for mayors and councils. ; Este artículo busca responder a la pregunta de si es posible establecer una relación de causa y efecto entre la conducta previa de las Fuerzas Armadas Revolucionarias de Colombia y el desempeño del Partido Farc en las elecciones locales de 2019. El trabajo aplica una metodología cualitativa basada en soporte documental, una triangulación con fuentes secundarias y análisis espacial de variables electorales y del conflicto mediante el software ArcGis. Esta investigación encuentra que el lánguido desempeño electoral del partido surgido del Acuerdo de Paz de 2016 se relaciona con el hecho de que la escogencia de los municipios donde este grupo político presentó candidatos no fue estratégica. De hecho, como parte de los hallazgos se revela que dos terceras partes de estos municipios corresponden a escenarios que registraron los niveles más elevados de intensidad del conflicto armado y la más baja participación del partido Farc en la competencia por alcaldías y concejos.

Facing the failure of peace negotiations with Israel, Fatah and Hamas have made a new attempt to overcome the Palestinian internal divide and agreed to form a provisional unity government. As for Hamas, this decision requires from the movement no less than transforming from a non-state violent actor to a political party that draws its legitimacy from accountability and good governance. This article examines the factors that explain why Hamas as the weaker of the two Palestinian factions has set off for power sharing in a democratically elected government. In the wake of the Gaza War of 2014, it identifies as a crucial condition for success of this experiment a sustainable ceasefire that allows Hamas to forego reliance on armed resistance operations.
