Reviews"Markus Bouillon's book makes an important and original contribution to the literature on the Middle East peace process. It is based on extensive and imaginative research and it is packed with new and fascinating material. Bouillon places the behavior of the elites under an uncompromising lens. His work serves as a useful corrective to the conventional wisdom by highlighting the negative effects of the peace process for all but the elites in Israel, Jordan, and the Palestinian territories."--Avi Shlaim, Oxford University "The first full-length, authoritative account of the various dimensions of business in the context of Arab-Israeli 'peace'...an empirically dense and nuanced analysis."--James Piscatori, Oxford University
