This new book shows how international crises are dangerous episodes
that can be destabilizing not only to the actors directly involved
but also to the entire international system. Recognizing the
primacy of crises as defining moments in international relations,
scholars and policy makers alike are increasingly concerned with
identifying mechanisms for crisis prevention, management and
resolution. Mediating International Crises is the first
comprehensive study into one such mechanism that has been used with
increasing frequency in the 20th Century: mediation by a third
party. This important research attempts to determine whether third
party mediation is an effective means of alleviating or managing
the turbulent and violent consequences of crises. The authors
examine three approaches to mediation: facilitation communication
between parties, formulating possible agreements and manipulating
the parties through sanctions or rewards. They explore how these
mediation approaches affect crisis outcomes through sanctions or
rewards The book begins with a thorough discussion of the
theoretical literature on mediation, with particular attention paid
to the important distinction between crisis management and conflict
resolution. The authors then provide empirical analyses of
instances of mediation in 20th century international crises, which
is supplemented with data derived from simulated negotiation
settings with human subjects.
