Abstract

This essay analyzes Israeli and Syrian mutual perceptions and policy-making in the context of Syria's failed quest to achieve "strategic parity" with Israel and the new regional realities following the collapse of the former Soviet Union. The author highlights each party's continued perception of the other as a hostile enemy bent on regional hegemony and exposes a gap between the parties that is still deep despite the current adoption of the "peace process" as the strategic option of choice by both countries.
A review of four books on the subject.
