Reihe: War and Conflict in the Modern World

Conflicts in the international system, both among and withinstates, bring death, destruction, and human misery. Understandinghow third parties use mediation to encourage settlements andestablish a durable peace among belligerents is vital for managingthese conflicts. Among many features, this book empiricallyexamines the history of post-World War II mediation effortsto:
* Chart the historical changes in the types of conflicts thatmediation addresses and the links between different mediationefforts across time.
* Explore the roles played by providers of mediation in theinternational system - namely, individuals, states, andorganizations - in managing violent conflicts.
* Gauge the influence of self-interest and altruism as motivatingforces that determine which conflicts are mediated and which areignored.
* Evaluate what we know about the willingness of parties inconflict to accept mediation, when and why it is most effective,and discuss the future challenges facing mediators in thecontemporary world.
Drawing on a wide range of examples from the Oslo Accords and GoodFriday Agreement to efforts to manage the civil wars in Burundi,Tajikistan, and Bosnia, this book is an indispensable guide tointernational mediation for students, practitioners, and generalreaders seeking to understand better how third parties can usemediation to deal with the globe's trouble spots.
