The East Jerusalem Forum

Beginning in 1993, a team of researchers at the Jerusalem Institute for Policy Research have been engaged in thinking about the geopolitical issues involving Jerusalem. The team's purpose is to provide policymakers with reliable, up-to-date information on demographic, social, economic, and political trends in East Jerusalem, as well as to formulate alternatives for the administration of the city in the absence of a political settlement and alternative future political settlements.

The team, which includes representatives of the governing authorities dealing with issues pertaining to East Jerusalem and
representatives of civil society organizations, is engaged in analyzing all aspects of the complex reality of East Jerusalem, discussing social trends, mapping the positions and interests of the various parties, drawing conclusions from past negotiations, and examining alternatives for the city's administration in different scenarios (in the absence of a political settlement, in an intermediate political settlement, and in a permanent political settlement).
