This book offers a new way of understanding the role of the
mediator in teaching parties the interrelationship between
sustainable peace, forgiveness, and international justice. It
argues that the arrival of social media presents new opportunities
for reaching sustainable peace agreements, through their use in
gathering the detailed information that can match victims and
perpetrators of past atrocities. The author aims to advance a more
expansive understanding of the subjects and limitations of making
peace in the shadow of international law by examining the concepts
of mediation and forgiveness that exist alongside law. To that end,
the book offers an account of the role of the mediator that emerges
from the interplay between Ricouerian imagination and forgiveness
and predicts ever-greater opportunities for making peace and
protecting human rights that can be facilitated by a harnessing of
social media as a tool for making peace with justice. The author
also aims to examine how strategies for sustaining the peace must
combat the inevitable frustrations with democracy that can lead to
a slide into dictatorship. Assad, Obama, and the UN leadership and
their decisions concerning making and maintaining peace in Syria
are used as case studies to examine the interplay between a
leaders' religious beliefs, faith in democracy and rule of law, and
impulses towards totalitarianism.

This book argues that it can be beneficial for the United States to
talk with evil that is, terrorists and other bad actors if it uses
a strategy that engages a mediator who shares the United States'
principles yet is pragmatic. The project shows how the United
States can make better foreign policy decisions and demonstrate its
integrity for promoting democracy and human rights if it employs a
mediator who facilitates disputes between international actors by
moving them along a continuum of principles, as political parties
act for a country's citizens. This is the first book to integrate
theories of rule of law development with conflict resolution
methods, and it examines ongoing disputes in the Middle East, North
Korea, South America, and Africa (including Uganda, Sudan, Kenya,
and Liberia). It uses a narrative approach, drawing on the author's
experiences with The Carter Center and judicial and legal advocacy
training to give the reader a sophisticated understanding of the
current situation in these countries and of how a strategy of
principled pragmatism will give better direction to U.S. foreign
policy abroad."
