Some of the peace seekers decided to contribute directly to the process of creating innovative solutions, often in bilateral settings. Second Track negotiations involve a great degree of agency and personal motivation of the participants, as well as complex identity-related dimensions.
The major schools of thought in political analysis and international relations research do not correlate the explanation of significant processes and events to the individuals contributing to the making of history – policy and decision makers, negotiators, peace entrepreneurs. Factors such as personal circumstances, motivations and previous achievements of the negotiators, as well as location and choice of mediation are variables in non-official negotiations which can be directly controlled by organizers, mediators or even participants.
This analysis is based on 21 individual semi-structured qualitative interviews, designed to amplify the space offered to interviewees for drawing a detailed picture of how Second Track negotiations can and ought to be approached, designed and undertaken. This paper shows in what way these, as well as personal characteristics of the negotiators interact in the background of second track negotiation exercises and can be controlled in order to provide the most successful version of Second Track negotiations and contribute to the resolution of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
