As the nature of conflict has changed, so the range of available tools for producing peace has grown. Alongside a plethora of political actions, there is now a greater international awareness of how peace can be brokered and policed. As a result, peace processes now extend well beyond the actuality of ceasefires and an absence of war to cover legacy issues of victims, truth and reconciliation.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e This book expertly examines the practical application of solutions to conflict. The first part analyses various political means of conflict management, including consociational power-sharing, partition, federalism and devolution. The second explores the extent to which these political formulas have been applied - or ignored - in a wide range of conflicts including Bosnia-Herzegovina, Northern Ireland, Israel-Palestine, Lebanon, the Basque Region and Sri Lanka.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eComparative Peace Processes\u003c\/i\u003e combines optimism with a realist approach to conflict management, acknowledging that the propensity of dominant states to engage in political experimentation is conditioned by the state of conflict. It will be a valuable resource for anyone interested in general theories of political possibilities in peace processes and the practical deployment of political ideas in conflict zones.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/p\u003e \u003col\u003e \u003cli\u003eThe Concept of a Peace Process\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePrescriptions for Conflict Management or Resolution\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePeace: Implementation; Maintenance; Reconciliation\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDeadlock: The Palestinian ‘Peace Process’\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eConflict and Confessionalism in Lebanon\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eConsociational Triumph: Northern Ireland’s Peace Process\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eConfederalism and Consociation in Bosnia-Herzegovina\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eETA’s Slow Defeat: The basque ‘Peace Process’\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eWhen a Peace Process Fails: Sri Lanka\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003eConclusion\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBibliography\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIndex\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Politics \u0026amp; government [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Politics \u0026amp; government\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Politics%20\u0026amp;%20government%20%5BJP%5D%22\"\u003eJP\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Polity","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52407310582040,"sku":"9780745642895","price":52.19,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9780745642895.jpg?v=1784160820","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/comparative-peace-processes-hardback-9780745642895","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
