Rafael Reuveny, IUB, and Jaclyn D. Streitfeld (graduate student at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign), published “The Simple Numeration of the Israel-Palestinian Conflict Resolution, 1967-2006,” in Debski Slawomir (Ed.), Transatlantic Perspectives on Security Imperatives, LIT Verlag (2007). The findings of Rafi’s paper, “Democracy and Environmental Degradation,” written with Quan Li (Associate Professor at Penn State), which was published in International Studies Quarterly in December 2006, was summarized and discussed in the bi-monthly, Foreign Policy, (2007).
