As the threat of superpower confrontation diminishes in the
post-cold war era, civil wars and their regional ramifications are
emerging as the primary challenge to international peace and
security. Notoriously difficult to resolve, these internal
conflicts seem condemned to escalate with no end in sight. This
book recognizes that internal dissidence is the legitimate result
of the breakdown of normal politics and focuses on resolving
conflict through negotiation rather than combat. Elusive Peace
provides a revealing look at the nature of internal conflicts and
explains why appropriate conditions for negotiation and useful
solutions are so difficult to find. The authors offer a series of
case studies of ongoing conflict in Angola, Mozambique, Eritrea,
South Africa, Southern Sudan, Lebanon, Spain, Colombia,
Afghanistan, Sri Lanka, and the Philippines. They examine the
characteristics of each confrontation, including past failed
negotiations, and make suggestions for changes in negotiating
strategies that could lead to a more successful outcome. The
