Publisher's Synopsis
Accords and treaties figure prominently in conflict resolution in societies destabilized by ethnic conflict. This volume uses examples from India, Sri Lanka, Canada, Cyprus and the Sudan to examine factors that prompt the making of accords; and explores why and how, in most cases, the accords do not hold for very long. Experienced negotiators have been teamed up with leading academics to provide a thorough comparative perspective. The book includes the texts of key accords and treaties.
