Three scenarios for future approaches to peace and conflict
diplomacy, explored through the lens of regional perspectives and
security threats Diplomacy in pursuit of peace and security faces
severe challenges not seen in decades. The reemergence of strong
states, discord in the UN Security Council, destabilizing
transnational nonstate actors, closing space for civil society
within states, and the weakening of the international liberal order
all present new obstacles to diplomacy. In Diplomacy and the Future
of World Order, an international group of experts confronts these
challenges to peace and conflict diplomacy-defined as the effort to
manage others' conflicts, cope with great power competition, and
deal with threats to the state system itself. In doing so, they
consider three potential scenarios for world order where key states
decide to go it alone, return to a liberal order, or collaborate on
a case-by-case basis to address common threats and problems. These
three scenarios are then evaluated through the prism of regional
perspectives from around the world and for their potential
ramifications for major security threats including peacekeeping,
nuclear nonproliferation, cyber competition, and terrorism. Editors
Chester A. Crocker, Fen Osler Hampson, and Pamela Aall conclude the
volume by identifying emerging types of diplomacy that may form the
foundation for global peacemaking and conflict management in an
uncertain future.
This collection of essays situates the study and practice of
international mediation and peaceful settlement of disputes within
a changing global context. The book is organized around issues of
concern to practitioners, including the broader regional, global,
and institutional context of mediation and how this broader
environment shapes the opportunities and prospects for successful
mediation. A major theme is complexity, and how the complex
contemporary context presents serious challenges to mediation. This
environment describes a world where great-power rivalries and
politics are coming back into play, and international and regional
organizations are playing different roles and facing different
kinds of constraints in the peaceful settlement of disputes. The
first section discusses the changing international environment for
conflict management and reflects on some of the challenges that
this changing environment raises for addressing conflict. Part II
focuses on the consequences of bringing new actors into third-party
engagement and examines what may be harbingers for how we will
attempt to resolve conflict in the future. The third section turns
to the world of practice, and discusses mediation statecraft and
how to employ it in this current international environment. The
volume aims to situate the practice and study of mediation within
this wider social and political context to better understand the
opportunities and constraints of mediation in today's world. The
value of the book lies in its focus on complex and serious issues
that challenge both mediators and scholars. This volume will be of
much interest to students, practitioners, and policymakers in the
area of international negotiation, mediation, conflict resolution
and international relations.
This book introduces the four principal sets of institutions that
engage in bringing peace and relief to societies mired in violent
conflicts and humanitarian crises-the United Nations and other
international bodies; non-governmental organizations; civilian
government agencies; and militaries. Because these institutions
have distinct goals as well as overlapping mandates and activities
on the ground, they do not always collaborate effectively, due in
part to a lack of familiarity with how the other institutions are
organized, make decisions or act on the ground. Despite declining
public support for large-scale, state-building missions recently,
more complex interagency efforts have evolved in partnership with
host country governments. Numerous third parties continue to
undertake peacebuilding, stabilization, and humanitarian relief
measures around the globe. This book is intended primarily for
those serving in the field, but it is also helpful to headquarters
personnel and policymakers, as well as military and agency trainees
and university students.
