The Jerusalem Quarterly (JQ) is published by the Institute for Jerusalem Studies
(IJS), an affiliate of the Institute for Palestine Studies. Support for JQ comes from
contributions by the Heinrich Böll Foundation (Ramallah) and the Ford Foundation
(Cairo). The journal is dedicated to providing scholarly articles on Jerusalem’s history
and on the dynamics and trends currently shaping the city. The journal covers issues
such as zoning and land appropriation, the establishment and expansion of settlements,
regulations affecting the status of Arab residency in Jerusalem, demographic trends,
and formal and informal Palestinian negotiating strategies on the final status of
Jerusalem. We present articles that analyze the role of religion, culture, and the media
in the struggles to claim the city.
This document has been produced with the financial assistance of the Heinrich Böll
Foundation. The views expressed herein are those of the author(s) and can therefore in
no way be taken to reflect the official opinion of the Heinrich Böll Foundation.
