From Apartheid to Democracy: A Blueprint for Peace in Israel-Palestine

If the global political will to end Israeli occupation and apartheid existed tomorrow, where would we start? How can a transition government be organized? How would existing laws, policies, and institutions be reformed? In what order? And most importantly, why should generations of Palestinians be condemned to living under occupation and apartheid while Israel waits for a perfect partner for peace?

These are among the questions that led two veterans in the fields of human rights, international law, and journalism to do what they say is rare in their fields: “to venture into positive prescriptions about how to fix problems beyond stopping abuses.”

With more than 50 years of combined experience in the region, input from nearly 100 Palestinian, Israeli, and international stakeholders, and extensive comparative research into other democratic transitions, From Apartheid to Democracy is a new book with a singular focus: to provide a practical plan to end apartheid and occupation rule and lay the groundwork for democratic decision-making on the future governance of Israel-Palestine.
