Exploring the complexities of Indonesian history since 1945, the book investigates the reasons behind the emergence of Islamist, separatist, and communal violence in specific regions. It delves into the impact of various political regimes, including Sukarno's Old Order and Suharto's New Order, as well as the subsequent democratization and decentralization processes. By analyzing these dynamics, the author seeks to understand the selective nature of conflict across the diverse Indonesian landscape.

A concise and accessible introduction to a highly complex subject. Following the opening chapter on the origins of the Arab-Israeli conflict, Dr Schulze takes the reader through the causes, course, and consequences of all the major conflicts, concluding with a chapter on the Middle East peace process in the 1990s. As well as analysing the events themselves, the author also considers the historiographical debates on nationalism, revisionism and post-revisionism. An excellent introduction providing a clear and readable account for students of postwar international history, Middle Eastern Studies and politics.

Publikace Kirsten E. Schulze předkládá nové chápání příčin, průběhu i následků arabsko-izrael­ského konfliktu. Autorka zde analyzuje dynamiku násilí a zkoumá četné pokusy o řešení tohoto konfliktu. Snaží se doložit, proč bylo v případě izrael­sko-egyptských jednání v roce 1978 nebo v případě jednání izraelsko-jordánských v roce 1994 dosaženo úspěchu a následně nastolen trva­lý mír i proč se tak nestalo v případech Izrae­le a Palestinců, Syřanů a Libanonu. Ve své knize: • sleduje původ konfliktu od jeho počátečních intelektuálních kořenů v 19. století, • zkoumá jednání a cíle soupeřících národních hnutí během období britského mandátu, které vedlo k vytvoření státu Izrael, • v hlavních rysech nastiňuje a současně analyzuje každý z arabsko-izraelských konfliktů od doby vyhlášení státu Izrael v roce 1948 až do libanonské války z roku 2006 a pokračujícího palestinského povstání. Se svou různorodou sbírkou dokumentů, s chronologií, slovníčkem a životopisy ve stylu „Kdo je kdo?“ shrnujícími kariéru a význam hlavních postav je tato kniha zcela nezbytná pro porozumění současnému izraelsko-palestinskému násilí, vnitropalestinským roztržkám mezi Hamásem a Fatahem i pro pochopení důvodů, proč se arabsko-izraelský konflikt stal ústředním bodem muslimské politiky, ať už násilné či nenásilné, po celém světě.
