"In the Absence of Victory: Negotiations, Mediation, and Conflict Settlement" Paper presented at the annual meeting of the International Studies Association, Town & Country Resort and Convention Center, San Diego, California, USA, Mar 22, 2006 <Not Available>. 2009-12-06 <http://www.allacademic.com/meta/p99839_index.html>Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript
Abstract: Existing research in conflict management widely treats third party mediation as synonymous with conflict management. In fact, nearly all conflict settlement literature focuses primarily on the role and traits of the mediator that facilitate successful settlement. While this emphasis is understandable as roughly 40% of mediated conflicts successfully end through negotiations, it is important to note that roughly five times the disputes have been settled bilaterally than through mediation. How, without assistance from a neutral third party to facilitate the negotiation process, were disputants able to settle these conflicts? Is mediation simply an added element of the conflict settlement process, or does mediation, in effect, change the nature of the conflict settlement process? This paper seeks to address these and other questions, arguing that the presence of mediation in a conflict drastically alters the settlement process. Moreover, I argue that the successfulness of mediation is less important than the simple fact that it occurs, and that once a single third party intervention has occurred, successive interventions have no effect on the likelihood of successful settlement. |
