اليقظة العربية الثانية والمعركة من أجل التعددية
يتناول هذا الكتاب إلهام إضطرابات الآونة الأخيرة في المنطقة العربية في سياق الضغط التاريخي طويل الأمد لبناء مجتمعات تتجاوب مع توق المواطن العربي للحرية والفرص، لا يمكن أن يتحقق هذا الحلم إِلا من خلال العملية الشاقة المتمثلة ببناء عالم عربي يؤمن بوضوح بالتعددية والتسامح. ويؤكد مروان المعشر، وزير الخارجية الأردني الأسبق، أن جميع الأطراف-حكومات الولايات المتحدة وأوروبا وإسرائيل والحكومات العربيّة على حد سواء-كانت جميعها مضللة، بشكل عميق، في تفكيرها عن السياسة العربية والمجتمع العربي عندما اندلعت الإنتفاضات. ويشرح أسباب الإضطرابات متتبعا إياها إلى اليقظة العربية الأولى، ويحذر من القوى الحالية التي تهدد نجاح اليقظة العربية الثانية، ويؤكد مروان المعشر أن الأمل يتوقف على الجيل الجديد ومدى إلتزامه بالتسامح والتعددية والتداول السلمي للسلطة والنمو الإقتصادي الشامل. ويوجه دعوة للغرب لإعادة التفكير في نهجه تجاه الإسلام السياسي والصراع العربي الإسرائيلي، ويشدد على أهمية الجهود لتعزيز التعليم والتوسع في التعاريف التقليدية للمواطنة العربية من أجل عملية إنتقائية طويلة الأمد نحو الديمقراطية.
BOOK
The Second Arab Awakening
This important book is not about immediate events or policies or responses to the Arab Spring. Instead, it takes a long, judicious view of political change in the Arab world, beginning with the first Awakening in the nineteenth century and extending into future decades when-if the dream is realized-a new Arab world defined by pluralism and tolerance will emerge.
Marwan Muasher, former foreign minister of Jordan, asserts that all sides-the United States, Europe, Israel, and Arab governments alike-were deeply misguided in their thinking about Arab politics and society when the turmoil of the Arab Spring erupted. He explains the causes of the unrest, tracing them back to the first Arab Awakening, and warns of the forces today that threaten the success of the Second Arab Awakening, ignited in December 2010. Hope rests with the new generation and its commitment to tolerance, diversity, the peaceful rotation of power, and inclusive economic growth, Muasher maintains. He calls on the West to rethink political Islam and the Arab-Israeli conflict, and he discusses steps all parties can take to encourage positive state-building in the freshly unsettled Arab world.

The Arab Center
Marwan Muasher, a prominent Jordanian diplomat, has been instrumental in shaping Middle East peace efforts for nearly twenty years. He served as Jordan's first ambassador to Israel and was also ambassador to the United States, spokesperson at peace talks in Madrid and Washington, minister of foreign affairs, and deputy prime minister in charge of reform. Here he recounts the behind-the-scenes details of diplomatic ventures over the past two decades, including such recent undertakings as the Arab Peace Initiative and the Middle East Road Map.
Muasher's insights into internal Arab politics and the successes and failures of the Arab Center are uniquely informed and deeply felt. He assesses how the middle road approach to reform is faring and explains why current tactics used by the West to deal with Islamic groups are doomed to failure. He examines why the Arab Center has made so little progress and which Arab, Israeli, and American policies need rethinking. Part memoir and part analysis, this book reveals the human side of the Arab-Israeli conflict. It is essential reading for all who share the hope that moderate, pragmatic Arab voices will be heard in today's vitriolic debates over how to achieve an enduring peace in the Middle East.

Jordan’s Changing Role and the Evolution of the Two-State Solution Concept
THE U.S.-JORDAN FREE TRADE AGREEMENT is symbolic of the success that Jordan has made in reforming its economy and of the international prestige the country enjoys—a reputation that is disproportionate to its size and relative regional and international power. How is it that one of the smallest countries in the Middle East—a nation of fewer than six million people that has no oil and limited natural resources—has come to enjoy such international stature? Jordan has managed to assert itself not only as a principal player in Arab-Israeli conflict resolution but as an originator of ideas and a

First Ambassador to Israel
PEACE BETWEEN JORDAN AND ISRAEL was in many ways a leap of faith for my country and its leadership. It was also thus for me. Although I consider myself a moderate, and certainly a champion of Arab-Israeli peace, I faced an extraordinary personal dilemma as I contemplated becoming Jordan’s first ambassador to Israel. That dilemma largely reflected the difficulty of crossing the abyss that still exists between Arabs and Israelis.
On November 16, 1994, less than a month after Jordan and Israel signed the peace treaty, I received a call from Talal Hassan, minister of state for foreign affairs. “I

Is There Hope for the Arab Center?
YEARS FROM NOW, WHEN THE HISTORY of the modern Middle East will be written, what will it be titled, “The Center Could Not Hold” or “A New Beginning”? Will the Middle East still be plagued by separation walls, suicide bombers, radical ideologies, authoritarian regimes, and a
never-ending occupation, or will moderation, democracy, peace, and diversity prevail?
That the Arab Center exists is something I have attempted to show beyond doubt in this book. It is a center that has been proactive in recent years in searching for a satisfactory solution to the Arab-Israeli conflict. Indeed, most political initiatives of the
