Summary:

"Almost all intrastate conflicts involve ceasefires, yet we know little about their variable role or what makes them effective or ineffective in ending civil conflict. When are ceasefires used, when and how do ceasefire and political negotiation processes foster or impede each other, and how do various context factors condition this relationship? Ceasefires applies a novel analytical framework to nine different cases. The contributors to this book explore the dynamic interaction between both the ceasefire process and the long-term peace process, focusing on questions that have previously received little attention. The book shows how the ceasefire process and political negotiations for a settlement are in actuality distinct processes, often involving different actors, strategies, and challenges. All case chapters are co-authored by teams that include a senior practitioner who was intimately involved in the peace process of the actual case and an academic expert"-- Provided by publisher.
