Comment(s): "A well conceived, designed and executed study, with important things to say about the logic of inquiry and theory in international relations, the study of interaction patterns, event data, and the Egyptian-Israeli relationship. It draws from the history and interactions of Middle East politics to inform our understanding of the logic and nature of international conflict. ... The systematic, analytic findings on the Egyptian-Israeli dyad make an important contribution to our understanding of Middle Eastern politics." -- Harvey Starr,The University of South Carolina
