International Multiparty Mediation and Conflict Management
This volume aims to provide a detailed explanation of the effects of cooperation and coordination on international multiparty mediation in conflicts. Contemporary scholarship stresses that the crucial ingredients for a successful multiparty mediation are ‘consistency in interests’ and ‘cooperation and coordination’ between mediators. This book seeks to supplement that understanding by investigating how much the ‘consistency of interests’ and ‘cooperation and coordination’ affect the overall process, and what happens to the mediation process when mediating parties do not share the same idea and interest in finding a common solution. At the same time, it explores the obstacles ...
Sounds of the Borderland
Sounds of the Borderland is the first book-length study of how popular music became a medium for political communication and contested identification during and after Croatia's war of independence from Yugoslavia. It extends existing cultural studies literature on music, politics and the state, which has largely been grounded in Western European and North American political systems. It also responds to an emerging fascination with the culture and politics of contemporary south-east Europe, expanding scholarship on the post-Yugoslav conflicts by going on to encompass significant social and political changes into the present day. The outbreak of war in 1991 saw almost every professional musici...
Contemporary Issues In Mediation - Volume 7
Contemporary Issues in Mediation (CIIM) Volume 7 builds on the success of the past six volumes as a testament to a growing interest of authors and readers in the wide variety of issues related to mediation. With the entry into force of the Singapore Convention on Mediation in 2020, mediation is and will continue to be increasingly pertinent in the world of dispute resolution. Readers stand to benefit from a diverse range of topics selected for their high quality of research and novelty. CIIM Volume 7 explores the role of mediation in the post-pandemic era, providing interesting perspectives on issues ranging from victim-offender disputes in the community to the resolution of inter-state armed conflicts. Edited by Singapore's leading expert on mediation and negotiation and Chairman of Singapore International Mediation Institute, Professor Joel Lee; Country Manager (Singapore) for Lupl, Marcus Lim; and Managing Partner of CJ Liew & Co, Josephine Hadikusumo, CIIM is a unique and valuable addition to the growing body of mediation and dispute resolution literature.
Redefining Ceasefires
Since 2012, ceasefires have been used in Syria to halt violence and facilitate peace agreements. However, in this book, Marika Sosnowski argues that a ceasefire is rarely ever just a 'cease fire'. Instead, she demonstrates that ceasefires are not only military tactics but are also tools of wartime order and statebuilding. Bringing together rare primary documents and first-hand interviews with over eighty Syrians and other experts, Sosnowski offers original insights into the most critical conflict of our time, the Syrian civil war. From rebel governance to citizen and property rights, humanitarian access to economic networks, ceasefires have a range of heretofore underexamined impacts. Using the most prominent ceasefires of the war as case studies, Sosnowski demonstrates the diverse consequences of ceasefires and provides a fuller, more nuanced portrait of their role in conflict resolution.

From War to Peace in the Balkans, the Middle East and Ukraine
This open access book focuses on the origins, consequences and aftermath of the 1995 and 1999 Western military interventions that led to the end of the most recent Balkan wars. Though challenging problems remain in Bosnia, Macedonia, Kosovo, and Serbia, the conflict prevention and state-building efforts thereafter were partly successful as countries of the region are on separate tracks towards European Union membership. This study highlights lessons that can be applied to the Middle East and Ukraine, where similar conflicts are likewise challenging sovereignty and territorial integrity. It is an accessible treatment of what makes war and how to make peace ideal for all readers interested in how violent international conflicts can be managed, informed by the experience of a practitioner.
