How do political elites utilize hope and skepticism to manipulate their public during conflict? And how does hope manifest itself at the societal level? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cem\u003eHope Amidst Conflict \u003c\/em\u003etakes on the bold challenge of answering these questions by merging insights from philosophy and social psychology and investigating hope for peace in an intense political context--the intractable, violent conflict between Israel and the Palestinians. Hope for peace has gathered scholarly attention in the last decade. However, the work has been focusing on the mechanisms of hope while failing to ask the bigger questions about hope's role in the politics of conflict. Moreover, existing research presents a confusing account of what hope \"is\" and how it can be measured. This confusion yielded mixed results regarding the levels and consequences of hope during conflict. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eCombining the wisdom of more than a hundred years of scholarship on hope with insights from original data collected in conflict zones, \u003cem\u003eHope Amidst Conflict \u003c\/em\u003eoffers a novel conceptualization of hope and a standardized way to measure hope in a wide array of contexts. Using these new approaches, the book embarks on a journey to identify the determinants and consequences of hope amidst conflict.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOded Adomi Leshem \u003c\/strong\u003eis a Senior Research Associate at the Psychology of Intergroup Conflict and Reconciliation Lab and The Harry S.
