Drawing on a theoretical framework of coexistence based on universality, reciprocity, and inclusion, this comprehensive book delves into the development of academic social work programs and cross-border partnerships to foster social justice and peace in Israel, Palestine, and Jordan. This groundbreaking work employs the rights-based practice model pioneered by Professor Torczyner in Montreal and introduced to the Middle East in the 1990s. By showcasing how the creation and brokering of cross-border partnerships have added the concept of rights-based practice to the lexicon of these countries, established groundbreaking advocacy centers in the hearts of disadvantaged communities, developed academic social work programs, and initiated significant policy changes to reduce inequality and promote social inclusion, this book offers a unique perspective on the advancement of long-term peace. Through its illustrative examples of how this evolving method of rights-based practice, rooted in theories of coexistence, has been tailored to different contexts and cultures while navigating complex and volatile political environments, it demonstrates how like-minded individuals, regardless of nationality or religion, can work together to promote common interests and a regional culture where all people enjoy the same rights. This book is a valuable resource for social work students and practitioners interested in community organization and rights-based practice, as well as scholars, policy makers, and practitioners in international development, political science, peace studies, Jewish studies, Middle Eastern studies, reconciliation, and conflict resolution.
