Leonard Davis Institute and Mitvim Institute formed a new research group that focuses on the potential role, and contribution, of various actors to Israeli-Palestinian peacemaking and peacebuilding. The project combines theory and practice, research and policy, and wishes to draw lessons from the history of the Israeli-Palestinian peace process, as well as peace processes in other conflict areas. At the beginning of the project, we published a call for papers and selected a group of 12 scholars from diverse disciplines and backgrounds. The proposed studies analyzes the role of actors such as religious leaders, women, businesses, prisoners, and environmental organizations. In the first stage, during May-June 2021, the group held two study sessions: In the first meeting we discussed the theoretical framework of the project, and in the second meeting we heard from guest speakers who were involved in the practice of peacemaking. The group members submitted drafts of the papers at the end of August and after a process of review and revision, the final papers will be published in Hebrew and English starting in October 2021. During the first semester of next year (October 2021-January 2022) we will organize a series of round tables in which the papers will be presented and we will also invite experts and practitioners to take part in the discussions. Some of the papers of the project will be selected to become academic articles for a special issue of the journal Politika.
