This book of collected essays by Pamela Aall, Chester Crocker and Fen Hampson situates the study and practice of international mediation and peaceful settlement of disputes within a changing global context.
In this volume, a selection of practitioners describe their personal experiences in working to bring peace in significant conflicts across four continents. They emphasize that the mediator must operate in an environment of daunting complexity, insecurity and uncertainty.
Rewiring Regional Security in a Fragmented World examines conflict management capacities and gaps regionally and globally, and assesses whether regions-through their regional organizations or through loose coalitions of states, regional bodies, and non-official actors-are able to address an array of new and emerging security threats.
Some conflicts seem to defy resolution. Marked by longevity, recurrent violence, and militant agendas, these intractable conflicts seemingly refuse to be settled. The authors argue that effective mediation always remains possible, provided the mediator knows what to do and when to do it.
