商品描述
Sweden is separated from Israel and the Palestinian territories not only by 3,000 kilometers but by nearly polar political differences. While the Middle East conjures up images of ancient civilizations and intractable conflicts, Sweden--a comparatively small Scandinavian country on Europe's northern periphery--has enjoyed two centuries of peace since the Napoleonic Wars. Yet, against all odds, Sweden has developed exceptionally strong--and at times tumultuous--relations with Israel and the Palestinians. Surprisingly, this Nordic nation has even emerged as an unexpected facilitator of Israeli-Palestinian peace negotiations.
This groundbreaking book by political scientist Daniel Schatz provides the first comprehensive historic overview and in-depth analysis of Sweden's political and diplomatic relations with Israel and the Palestinians from 1948 to 2024. Based on fifteen years of archival research and over 100 exclusive interviews with key leaders--including Swedish, Israeli, and Palestinian prime ministers, foreign ministers and ambassadors --it offers unprecedented insights into this fascinating diplomatic journey.
From Swedish government offices to secret diplomatic missions in Jerusalem and Ramallah, readers are granted rare access to the corridors of power. Witness firsthand how Swedish decision-makers have navigated the complexities of Middle Eastern politics since the post-war era and played a facilitating role in the peace process. Discover the untold story of how a distant Nordic nation became a player in one of the world's most enduring conflicts.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
瑞典與以色列及巴勒斯坦領土之間的距離不僅有 3,000 公里，還有幾乎截然不同的政治差異。中東常常讓人聯想到古老的文明和難以解決的衝突，而瑞典——這個位於歐洲北部邊緣的相對小型斯堪地那維亞國家——自拿破崙戰爭以來享有兩個世紀的和平。然而，瑞典在各種困難的情況下，與以色列和巴勒斯坦建立了異常強大且有時動盪的關係。令人驚訝的是，這個北歐國家甚至成為以色列-巴勒斯坦和平談判的意外促進者。
這本由政治學家丹尼爾·沙茨（Daniel Schatz）撰寫的開創性著作，提供了1948年至2024年間瑞典與以色列及巴勒斯坦的政治和外交關係的首次全面歷史概述和深入分析。該書基於十五年的檔案研究和超過100次與關鍵領導人的獨家訪談——包括瑞典、以色列和巴勒斯坦的總理、外交部長和大使——提供了對這段迷人外交歷程的前所未有的見解。
從瑞典政府辦公室到耶路撒冷和拉馬拉的秘密外交任務，讀者將獲得進入權力走廊的珍貴機會。親眼見證瑞典決策者如何在戰後時代駕馭中東政治的複雜性，並在和平進程中扮演促進者的角色。發現這個遙遠的北歐國家如何成為世界上最持久衝突之一的參與者的未被講述的故事。
