Current conceptions of mediation can often fail to capture the
complexity and intricacy of modern conflicts. This Research
Handbook addresses this problem by presenting the leading expert
opinions on international mediation, examining how international
mediation practices, mechanisms and institutions should adapt to
the changing characteristics of contemporary international crises.
Chapters consider the challenges facing the international community
when aiming to achieve lasting resolutions in intrastate and
interstate conflicts during acute periods of crisis and potential
or actual violence escalation. The authors also provide much-needed
context for 'gray zone conflict', the actions of non-state actors,
gender dynamics and biases that hinder mediation. The
ever-expanding role of mediation means authors also cover human
security, climate diplomacy and cyber disputes. Using extensive
analysis of salient cases as well as quantitative studies of
aggregate trends, this Research Handbook is the vital reference
work for mediation in contemporary international politics. The
concluding chapter explores the overarching themes and key policy
recommendations from the leading voices in mediation. An essential
reference for postgraduate researchers of international politics,
this Research Handbook provides both quantitative and qualitative
analysis to further case knowledge for research. In addition, the
case studies and concluding chapter will be a much-needed resource
for policymakers and practitioners in defence policy and peace
advocacy due to their emphasis on lessons learned and best
practice. Contributors include: P. Aall, Z. Bakaki, J.A. Bangerter,
