The European Union as International Mediator

More about the book

Focusing on the EU's role in international mediation, the book analyzes its effectiveness through three key case studies: Montenegro's independence, the Kosovo-Serbia dialogue, and discussions on South Ossetia and Abkhazia. It establishes that the EU has become a significant mediator in global conflicts and introduces a framework to assess its impact. The findings reveal that EU mediation stabilizes conflict dynamics and reduces escalation, with its success largely hinging on the EU's capacity to encourage compromise among conflicting parties through diplomatic means.
