İsrail-Filistin uyuşmazliği üzerindeki Amerikan ve Avrupa politikalarinin karşilaştirilmasi: 1993-2003

Transatlantic differences over the main global issues have been a constant item of discussion in the academic circles. A significant part of these discussions have been devoted to the diverging approaches of Europe and the United States over the Israeli-Palestinian question due to the centrality of the conflict in the Middle East and the importance of the region in world politics. Aim of this thesis is to examine to what extent there is a transatlantic split regarding the positions of the United States and the European Union concerning the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. It also aims to have a better understanding of the causes and origins of the different policies conducted by the two sides of the Atlantic. In this respect, divergences and convergences of American and European foreign policies will be analyzed. Finally, prior to analyzing the significance of the split for the future of the conflict and the region, whether the transatlantic split is bridgeable or not is going to be discussed.
