Committing to peace : the successful settlement of civil wars
Barbara F. Walter (Author)
Using data on every civil war fought between 1940 and 1992, details the conditions that lead combatants to partake in a three-step process--the decision on whether to initiate negotiations, to compromise, and finally, to implement any resulting terms. Key finding: rarely are such conflicts resolved without active third-party intervention. Includes case studies on the civil war in Zimbabwe and the breakdown of Rwanda's peace process. [back cover]
