This paper looks at how violent ethnic conflicts are managed. The paper
separates ethnic civil wars from the more general class of ethnic
conflicts. More specifically, we examine these conflicts, and seek to
understand the extent to which mediation can play an effective role in
managing such conflicts, and which factors have the most impact on its
performance and effectiveness. We set up a theoretical framework from
which we derive several propositions on mediation effectiveness. These
are analyzed using an original data set of over 900 mediation cases in
ethnic civil wars. The analysis suggests that the use of a neutral
mediation site and initiation by both parties in the war each enhance the
likelihood of mediation success. Conflict intensity, third-party initiation
and superpower mediation all decrease the likelihood of success. Ethnic
civil wars over issues of secessionism and autonomy are also found to be
more difficult to mediate than ethnic civil wars over issues of religion

This paper suggests that economic inequality is important to explaining civil conflict, but that the links are not as direct as is often supposed. It is important to focus on the variety of ways in which inequalities are managed by societies, and the significance of varying kinds of inequality. It is also important to understand the transmission mechanisms that enable a relatively peaceable durable inequality to turn into a violent conflict. Thes...

This article examines international interventions in the aftermath of civil wars to see whether peace lasts longer when peacekeepers are present than when they are absent. Because peacekeeping is not applied to cases at random, I first address the question of where international personnel tend to be deployed. I then attempt to control for factors that might affect both the likelihood of peacekeepers being sent and the ease or difficulty of mainta...

THE decline of interstate armed conflict and perceived rise in the frequency of civil wars since the end of the cold war1—especially in Europe2—have contributed to a new wave of interest in civil wars.3 This interest focuses on ethnic competition as a source of conflict and widely regards civil wars of the post–cold war era (new civil wars) as fundamentally different from their predecessors (old civil wars); new civil wars are distinguished as cr...

The recent accounts of the new war paradigm have been thoroughly scrutinized in a variety of disciplines from security studies and international relations to political economy. The general trend is to focus on the scope, methods, tactics, strategies, forms of war, and ? or the level of atrocity. However, there has been little sustained attempt to assess structural causes and the arguments about the changing aims of contemporary warfare. This pape...

O n e of the challenges facing the international community in the post-Cold War era is the increasingly pervasive problem of civil conflict.' Indeed, all of the thirty major armed conflicts fought in the world in 1995 were intrastate wars.' Devising ways of responding to this violence has been a topic of considerable debate among policymakers and students of conflict management in recent years.3 But no less important is the task of determining wh...

The most intractable civil wars in the last half of the twentieth century were not ethnic civil wars or ideological civil wars. The most intractable conflicts were those fought over territory. Between 1940 and 1996, combatants fighting territorial civil wars were 70 percent less likely to initiate peace negotiations than combatants fighting any other type of civil war (Walter 2002). And once begun, these negotiations rarely brought peace. In only...
