The confrontation of October 2000 manifested the explosive potential if some of the dilemmas associated with these relations are not resolved." "This volume of articles offers the academic community and the public at large a comprehensive analysis of the most significant issues contributing throughout the years to the emergence of the current conditions. The writers, all leading experts in their respective fields, cover history, sociology and politics and offer a variety of viewpoints and methodologies.
