Workshop 2 The New Situation in the Middle East This workshop will address of the uprisings in the Middle East, intervention in Libya and more.
Lecture/Reception – The 6 State Solution to the Israeli/Palestinian Conflict This core conflict fuels other conflicts, increasing tensions, driving extremism and inflaming anti-American and anti-Israeli sentiments. Military and political leaders recognize consequences for US security at home and abroad. Rather than blaming the inability to end this conflict on parties, we will consider decades of failure as a result of inadequate solutions based on old paradigms and narrow thinking that miss deep psychological forces and dynamics that provoke resistance and setbacks.
Outside-the-box thinking includes a proposal for a Middle East Community, MEC, and a regional Organization for Security and Cooperation in the Middle East, OSCME, modeled after the OSCE. Our approach will address issues of trauma, identity, fear, guilt, envy, humiliation, and systems theory. We will consider basic human needs, legitimate goals, and just grievances, and strategies for overcoming bitterness. We will explore the critical role and untapped contribution of conflict analysis in collaborating to design creative, transformative, sound solutions more capable of reducing tensions and transforming conflict
