Abstract: Which is the more likely path to peace: to focus on the most important obstacle to peace and remove it first, or to begin with some seemingly unrelated but easy first steps and leave more difficult issues for later?If history teaches us a lesson, it seems that beginning with small steps promises greater success. It can create a climate of mutual trust that makes it possible to resolve more contentious issues later. A number of long-lasting hostilities began to erode with relatively noncontroversial first moves.
