Reviews

To resolve protracted violent conflicts, peace mediation is a very promising approach. This book sheds light on the nexus between mediation practice and its conceptual underpinnings. As a resource, it is a must-read for both practitioners and experts. Hans-Joachim Giessmann, Berghof Foundation This book leads the way in expanding how we construct important elements in peacemaking. It extends current thinking outwards, and introduces new stakeholders, rethought norms, and new forms of 'circum-mediatory' engagement. A good collection to get us thinking. I. William Zartman, Johns Hopkins University
