Contemporary Peace Making

Twenty-one papers, presented by Darby (comparative ethnic studies, U. of Notre Dame, US) and Mac Ginty (politics, U. of York, UK), seek to sketch out the general contours of peace processes, focusing on key themes and time stages, including preparations, negotiations, violence, peace accords, and peacebuilding. While recognizing that no particular peace process is the same as any other, the authors hope to use the world's experiences with them to demonstrate shared characteristics.
