Power and Leadership in International Bargaining - The Path to the Camp David Accords

The author explores the events leading to the signing of the Camp David Accords to assess the relative weight of military and economic power, systems of government and political leadership in explaining outcomes of international bargaining. He examines why Israel and Egypt came to sign a bilateral peace agreement at the expense of Egypts relations with the rest of the Arab world, and argues that Egypt and Israel were more interested in cementing strategic relations with the United States than in concluding an agreement with each other.
