The T-Politography project seeks to address the decision-making gap by providing a multidisciplinary, empirical, data-based tool that describes, measures, and evaluates the level of Israeli and Palestinian control in four key geographical zones of interest: Area C and Areas A+B in the West Bank, the Gaza Strip, and East Jerusalem. The T-Politography platform assists decision-makers in identifying and visualizing underlying trends and blind spots in the complex dynamics between Israelis and Palestinians. The tool is designed to display trajectories of change and show how they correspond to important events; to gauge ratios of control over time in different domains (e.g., security, economy); and to provide answers to decision-maker queries and questions.
Products
Two platforms:
- A statistical (JMP) platform for analysts and professionals:
- Descriptive statistics – a graphic presentation of thousands of variables in seven domains. The first three domains define levels of control: geo-spatial, security, and economic. The four other domains provide the context in which dynamics of control take place: social, diplomatic, political, and legal.
- Indices of control – An aggregate measure of control per area of interest and in each domain.
- Questions and queries – generic and customer-tailored queries on issues pertaining to conflict and conflict resolution.
- A web platform for decision-makers that provides an easy-to-use dashboard that is continuously updated and provides clear bottom lines and take-home messages.
