'This book, the product of extensive studies and discussions among western and regional scholars and policymakers, is an important first attempt to promote [an effective peace effort].' 'A lucid, critical discussion of how the historical example of the Peace of Westphalia might encourage more constructive solutions to current conflicts in the Middle East.' -- Peter Wilson 'This refreshing book brings out much-needed lessons for a Middle East in need of a new Westphalia.' -- Staffan de Mistura 'Milton, Axworthy and Simms provide policy-relevant answers to the questions that students of the Middle East have been asking since the Arab Spring. This book is comparative politics at its best.' -- Michael Kerr 'There has never been a more important time to think creatively about solutions to the problems gripping the Middle East. This study highlights the importance of history as a means of informing policy whilst recognising the value and limitations of a comparative approach.' -- Ali Ansari 'An insightful book. Milton et al transform reified concepts into a set of tools with which to take on the world's most vexing conflicts.' -- Borzou Daragahi
