Can anyone on the list suggest readings that have looked at peace
processes in comparative perspective? I'd particularly like to see
articles, books that have rigorously analyzed the *conditions* that lead
to peace agreements. This would include the conditions leading opposing
parties to conclude that peace is the most mutually beneficial course, the
roles of key internal and external actors and variables (such as economic,
etc), and any other relevant considerations.
Again, I'm interested in a comparative perspective, perhaps even some kind
of a model, where the case studies have been distilled. Examples from
Central America are the most obvious for this list, but a more universal
approach that takes into account different conflict situations and
cultures would add to the validity of any conclusions, it would
seem to me.
Thanks in advance for your suggestions.
Cheers,
