Jimmy Carter: A Vision for Peace

Paper Summary:

This paper examines how President Carter's political platform of moral intervention in global conflict set the stage for a determined U.S. effort to end potential eruptions of war in the Mideast conflict by withdrawing the primary Arab military force, Egypt, from the equation through a land-for-peace settlement, which was finalized in the Camp David Accords.

From the Paper:

"At the outset of the Camp David Meetings, Sadat and Begin appeared willing to discuss issues face-to-face but as disagreements broke out, the personality of Carter became a key factor upon which a successful outcome depended. To help along the peace process, Carter started a series of one-on-one meetings with Sadat and Begin individually (Thornton 210). From the start of these one-on-one meetings, Begin's attitude startled Carter and members of his negotiating team. Begin insisted that the USA stop its role as fair mediator, agree to Begin's proposals for settlement and inform the world "that there were no serious differences between the United States and Israel" (Thornton 210)."
