Description
Increasing use of mediation in seemingly intractable conflicts as the Iran-Iraq war, the Arab-Israeli conflict and the civil wars in Cyprus and Lebanon has rendered this an important field for research in both international relations and conflict and peace studies. This book focuses on the third party's own decision-making processes leading to their responses to conflict situations. The book aims to consider three inter-related topics - firstly the third party's choice of the intermediary role in response to conflict, secondly the third party's tactical choice decisions during the involvement as intermediary in the conflict situation and thirdly the third party's re-evaluation of its continued involvement as intermediary prior to the achievement of a settlement of the conflict in which it is involved.
