This Book Summary written by: Conflict Research Consortium Staff
This collection of essays offers a contemporary overview of
approaches to international peacemaking. The end of the Cold War has
changed the nature of international conflicts, creating new challenges for
peacemaking. Initial essays explore this new context.
Subsequent chapters describe different peacemaking techniques. Essays
examine peacemaking from the perspective of diplomats and non-governmental
organizations, respectively. A final essay examines the role of training
in international peacemaking. The text includes a brief Foreword by Richard H.
Solomon, and biographical sketches of the contributing authors.
Violence in the voice is often only the death rattle of reason in the throat. -- John Boyes
