Summary:

The methods and techniques of peacemaking-whether it is called conflict resolution, management, or transforation-have become increasingly sophisticated, particularly in response to the increased complexity of international conflict in the pqst-9/11 era.

This updated and expanded edition of the highly popular and award-winning volume originally published in 1997 describes the tools and skills of peacemaking that are currently available and critically assesses their usefulness and limitations. The field's preeminent researchers and practitioners present not only the more traditional approaches to peacemaking-bargaining and negotiation, third-party mediation, and arbitration and adjudication, and economic incentives and disincentives-but also present newer, "nonofficial" approaches that have attracted considerable attention for their innovativeness, including sodal-psychological approaches, problem-solving workshops, conflict transformation, peace education and training.

Written for all students of peacemaking and foreign policymaking-both scholars and practitioners-the chapters in this revised edition of Peacemaking in International Conflict provide cogent analyses and offer practical lessons for a variety of conflict settings, including

disarmament, and arms-control negotiations

subnational conflicts in the new and emerging states of the post-Cold War era

the challenges for statecraft in addressing transnational political violence and "asymmetric"

threats to international security
