Abstract
A noted American specialist on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict presents an up-to-date analysis of that conflict based in part on his field work in the summer of 2010. The paper revisits the concept of territorial pragmatism, drawing on experience that illustrates the distance between each population and the maximalist claims that are articulated by a minority on their respective sides. The author's extensive research at the local scale, which commenced in the late 1980s, reflects the many ways in which Palestinians and Israelis search for a modus vivendi driven by practical exigencies rather than conflicting ideologies.
