The External ‘Management’ of Peace Settlements: International Organisations and Conflict Resolution in the Western Balkans and the Former Soviet Union

Abstract:

The extensive empirical involvement of international organisations in attempts at conflict management and prevention, which often see this as one of their main security tasks and the frequent calls to increase their involvement, as well as the simultaneous relative lack of systematic comparative research on their involvement in these situations constitute the starting point for this paper. Initially, we establish a theoretical framework for the involvement of third parties, and especially international organisations, in conflict management and prevention processes that focuses on the nature and impact of their engagement. We then embark on an empirical investigation of their role in the Western Balkans (Bosnia and Herzegovina, Macedonia, and Kosovo) and the former Soviet Union (Moldova, Ukraine, and Georgia) and ask two questions:(1)How are IOs involved in managing peace settlements (direct/indirect ‘conditioning’ of particular settlements during negotiations; post-settlement implementation an operation support)?(2)What impact does particular IO involvement have on the stability of particular settlements (stalemate/status quo, viable reintegrated state, two/multi-state solution)?
