The Arab – Israeli Peace Process has always been tied up to Washington’s agenda. President Barack Obama re-launched the process in the first months of his new Administration in early 2009. Aaron Miller looks at the future of the peace process from his past and long experience as a U.S. negotiator.
Aaron David Miller, a Public Policy Fellow at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars since 2006, served at the Department of State for almost two decades, beginning with the Carter Administration in 1978 and ending with the second Bush Administration in 2003. As an advisor to six secretaries of state, he helped formulate U.S. policy on the Middle East and the Arab-Israel peace process. He also served as the Deputy Special Middle East Coordinator for Arab-Israeli Negotiations, Senior Member of the State Department's Policy Planning Staff and president of “Seeds of Peace”.
Dr. Miller has authored four books: The Much Too Promised Land: America’s Elusive Search for Arab-Israeli Peace, (2008); The Arab States and the Palestine Question: Between Ideology and Self Interest, (1986); The PLO and the Politics of Survival, (1983); and Search for Security, Saudi Arabian Oil and American Foreign Policy, (1980). He is currently working on his fifth book, Can America Have Another Great President?
Dr. Miller received his Ph.D. in American Diplomatic and Middle East History from the University of Michigan in 1977 and is a recipient of the State Department’s “Distinguished, Superior and Meritorious Honor Award”.
