What does it take for warnings about violent conflict and war to be
listened to, believed and acted upon? Why are warnings from some
sources noticed and largely accepted, while others are ignored or
disbelieved? These questions are central to considering the
feasibility of preventing harm to the economic and security
interests of states. Challenging conventional accounts that tend to
blame decision-makers' lack of receptivity and political will, the
authors offer a new theoretical framework explaining how distinct
'paths of persuasion' are shaped by a select number of factors,
including conflict characteristics, political contexts, and
source-recipient relations. This is the first study to
systematically integrate persuasion attempts by analysts, diplomats
and senior officials with those by journalists and NGO staff. Its
ambitious comparative design encompasses three states (the US, UK,
and Germany) and international organisations (the UN, EU, and OSCE)
and looks in depth at four conflict cases: Rwanda (1994), Darfur
(2003), Georgia (2008) and Ukraine (2014).
