Coordinating Intermediary Peace Efforts

Year: 1996

Type: article

Abstract: Multiple peace-making efforts by intermediaries can be a blessing or a curse, particularly in ethnic, religious, or other types of communal conflicts. The author outlines four general ways in which multiple interventions can hamper peacemaking, as well as the different types of intermediaries and de-escalating activities that can help efforts to achieve conflict resolution. Multiple intermediaries can work effectively either in sequence or contemporaneously; coordination of such activities is vital Based on the analysis presented here, the author offers four different strategies to maximize the benefits of multiple intermediaries in peacemaking.
