Description
Book SynopsisSince the end of the Cold War a significant number of peace agreements have been signed, many of them in bloody intra-state conflicts that were previously thought beyond resolution.
Trade Review"For as long as there has been war, there have been attempts to reach peace agreements. But our knowledge of peace accords (what works and what doesn’t) is surprisingly patchy. Caspersen addresses this problem with a detailed and convincing comparative study that systematically analyses post-Cold War peace accords. The book will become a standard point of reference for many years to come and will be a staple on reading lists." -
Roger Mac Ginty, University of Manchester "A substantive, in-depth analysis, which offers extremely insightful lessons that will be of great value to students and practitioners of peace processes alike." -
