ABSTRACT
Looking at the UN activity of conflict management and “resolution” of the Arab–Israeli conflict means, in a sense, mapping the history of the UN and the post World War Two international system. Over the past sixty years, tremendous changes impacted the world of international relations as well as the conflict scenario in the Middle East region. This diachronic complexity, along with the empirical and theoretical tangles that I tried to unravel throughout this inquiry, underline the difficulties in isolating each factor (variable) in order to test its influence in such an evolving process.
