Abraham’s Path is a long-distance walking trail that traces the footsteps of the ancient patriarch from Sanliurfa in southeast Turkey through Syria, Jordan, Palestine and Israel. Designed as a cultural route, the path offers hikers the opportunity to engage with the peoples and landscapes of the region firsthand, and to see the region from a new perspective.
Dr. William Ury , founder of the Global Negotiation Initiative at PON, was instrumental in the envisioning and development of Abraham’s Path. The path offers an intriguing case of very challenging, long-term negotiations to establish a contiguous route through often-hostile countries; if fully successful, Abraham’s Path could have powerful regional implications for economic development, mutual engagement, and peace-building.
Professor James Sebenius is the academic consultant for the Abraham Path and HNP. Today, the Program on Negotiation serves as the intellectual and academic home of Abraham’s Path, which continues to be overseen by Dr. Ury and Dr. Joshua Weiss. In the fall of 2006, Dr. Ury and PON Managing Director Susan Hackley traveled to the Middle East for an inaugural journey.
