Uri Savir's Passion for Peace

Savir speaks about a new approach to the Middle East conflict

Uri Savir

Like many others with classes to teach in the Fall, I have been away from blogging for the Summer. But I did manage to conduct a significant interview with the Israeli career diplomat and Oslo Accords negotiator, Uri Savir.

His new book, Peace First, has just been published. In it he calls for a new approach to diplomacy. He speaks of peace building rather than peacemaking and the creation of an ecology of peace. With contributions by Shimon Peres, Dennis Ross and Ahmad Qurei, Peace First builds on Savir's work since 1993. He presently heads up the Peres Center for Peace in Tel Aviv and the Glocal Forum in Rome.


	Building Peace
	Career diplomat Uri Savir has a passion for peace in the Middle East. His latest book, Peace First (2008), calls for "a new model" for achieving lasting peace. This interview by publisher and Mideast scholar David Hulme is Savir's second for Vision.
