International Conflict Mediation: New Approaches and Findings

The field of international conflict mediation is currently undergoing a revolution, which is fundamentally challenging and changing our understanding of conflict resolution. Largely driven by UN actions, international conflict mediation has become one of, if not the most prominent and important conflict resolution methods of the early 21 st century. A number of quantitative data sources on conflict management have recently become available to scholars, facilitating an explosion of quantitative-based studies on international mediation. The proposed book exemplifies this blast, and is very much at the forefront of it. The topicality of mediation has attracted a wave of new scholars and approaches, bridging the divide between those who studied conflict management and those who analyzed conflict occurrence and conduct. This book aims to capture these important changes in the field of international conflict mediation, and includes essays by leading scholars on a variety of critical aspects of conflict management with state of the art analytical tools and up to date data.Bercovitch, Jacob is the author of 'International Conflict Mediation: New Approaches and Findings' with ISBN 9780415453097 and ISBN 0415453097.
