Palestinian and Israeli Public Opinion is based on a unique project: the                  Joint Israeli-Palestinian Poll (JIPP). Since 2000, Jacob Shamir and Khalil Shikaki                  have directed joint surveys among Israelis and Palestinians, providing a rare                  opportunity to examine public opinion on two sides of an intractable conflict.                  Adopting a two-level game theory approach, Shamir and Shikaki argue that public                  opinion is a multifaceted phenomenon and a critical player in international                  politics. They examine how the Israeli and Palestinian publics' assessments,                  expectations, mutual perceptions and misperceptions, and overt political action fed                  into domestic policy formation and international negotiations -- from the failure of                  the 2000 Camp David summit through the second Intifada and the elections of 2006. A                  discussion of the study's implications for policymaking and strategic framing of                  future peace agreements concludes this timely and informative book.
