There are more peacemaking actors than before but fewer success stories, and an increasing number of violent conflicts tend to resist negotiated agreements. Tools and practices created for traditional inter- and intra-state conflicts have become ineffective and revision of old mediation practices is called for. This book examines how the private peacemaking organisations have faced this challenge. In the 21st century, private peacemakers have become a central part of peace diplomacy and have appeared as flexible actors whose innovative thinking paves the way for reconsidering and reinventing old practices of mediation. Instead of emphasizing the act of resolution, a new emphasis is given to the transformation of violence into a peace system, the complexity of conflict and the inadequateness of rational management. Furthermore, this shift has brought civic society actors from the field of reconciliation to the field of peace mediation. This new pragmatic approach under development can be called dialogic mediation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIntroductionPART A: Peace Mediation beyond Mediation1: Resilient (Peace) Mediation Practice 2: Private Peacemaking3: Cold War Experiences of Nongovernmental Conciliation4: From Management of Incompatibles to Transformation of Antagonism5: Mediation Success in the Frame of Liberal Peace Critic6: Dialogic TransformationPART B: The Crowded Field of Private Peacemaking1: Professionalization of Private Peacemaking Sector2: Smart Actors within Complexity of Multitrack Peace Diplomacy3: The Finnish Way: Cooperative Interaction between Official and Private4: Towards Locally Owned Inclusive Peace Processes5: Inclusivity in Mediation and National Dialogues6: “Hitting Moving Targets”: Transformative Dialogues7:  Post-Management Approach: Dialogic PracticeThe Dialogic Mediation: the Pragmatic Approach\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Springer Nature Switzerland AG","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51742836982103,"sku":"9783030081973","price":35.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9783030081973.jpg?v=1758386912","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/the-era-of-private-peacemakers-a-new-dialogic-approach-to-mediation-9783030081973","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
