Recognizing that there is no one-size-fits-all model for peace processes, the book acknowledges that each process will be influenced by a multitude of contextual factors, including the nature of the conflict, the timing of the negotiations, the global economic climate, and the presence of natural disasters. Despite these challenges, the authors argue that comparing peace processes is crucial and essential for understanding what works and what does not in different situations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book is organized in a way to facilitate maximum comparison between the processes studied. The case studies selected cover a wide range of regions and are chosen to be topical and relevant to contemporary peace efforts. The concluding chapter systematically compares the case studies across 11 variables, including the conflict context, the peace process procedures employed, the level of responsiveness to the demands of various stakeholders, and the levels of participation and inclusion. Each peace process is then assigned a numeric score based on these variables, allowing the book to make judgments about whether each case can be considered a success or a failure.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book is an invaluable resource for students and scholars of peace studies, conflict resolution, war and conflict studies, security studies, and International Relations. It provides a deep understanding of the complexities and challenges of peace processes and offers valuable insights into the factors that contribute to their success or failure. By examining a diverse range of cases, the book encourages readers to think critically about the strategies and approaches used in peace negotiations and to develop their own perspectives on effective peacebuilding.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\n                            \u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 598g\n                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 233 x 168 x 22 (mm)\n                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781138218970\n                            \n                          \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shulph Ink","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44104004960506,"sku":"9781138218970","price":39.97,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/20b0bc7615cddff0447a24cbede5b0e4.jpg?v=1625195274","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/comparing-peace-processes","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
