Committing to Peace

More about the book

The study explores the dynamics of civil wars and the factors influencing the success of peace settlements. By analyzing data from conflicts between 1940 and 1992, it identifies a three-step process involving negotiation initiation, compromise, and implementation of agreements. The author highlights the critical role of third-party intervention in resolving conflicts, providing valuable insights for students, scholars, and policymakers. This comprehensive approach combines historical analysis and empirical data to challenge existing theories on civil war resolutions.
