Choice Outstanding Academic Title for 2015 The term 'peace process'
is now widely used to describe attempts to manage and resolve
conflict. As the nature of conflict has changed, so the range of
available tools for producing peace has grown. Alongside a plethora
of political actions, there is now a greater international
awareness of how peace can be brokered and policed. As a result,
peace processes now extend well beyond the actuality of ceasefires
and an absence of war to cover legacy issues of victims, truth and
reconciliation. This book expertly examines the practical
application of solutions to conflict. The first part analyses
various political means of conflict management, including
consociational power-sharing, partition, federalism and devolution.
The second explores the extent to which these political formulas
have been applied - or ignored - in a wide range of conflicts
including Bosnia-Herzegovina, Northern Ireland, Israel-Palestine,
Lebanon, the Basque Region and Sri Lanka. Comparative Peace
Processes combines optimism with a realist approach to conflict
management, acknowledging that the propensity of dominant states to
engage in political experimentation is conditioned by the state of
conflict. It will be a valuable resource for anyone interested in
general theories of political possibilities in peace processes and
the practical deployment of political ideas in conflict zones.
