Camp David Accords

Paper Summary:

The first part of the paper looks at the goals of the accords, particularly in terms of economics, politics, and the military. The next part looks at the behavior that the Israeli, Egyptian, and the United States governments brought to the bargaining table at Camp David. Particular attention is paid to the dual role the American government played as both participant and mediator in these negotiations. In the conclusion, the paper examines why the Camp David Accords failed to bring about a permanent peace in the region and makes recommendations regarding the conditions necessary for a lasting peace in the Middle East.

From the Paper:

'Signed in 1978, the historic Camp David Accords were supposed to usher in a new era of peace between Israel and Egypt. Because the deal was brokered by then President Jimmy Carter at his Maryland presidential retreat, the Camp David Accords also signified the growing role of the United States in maintaining an international balance of power. The accord further illustrated how this global and regional balance of power has superseded traditional territorial conquests in the Middle East region, raising hopes that diplomatic channels could help bring about an elusive peace.'
