Using case studies to illustrate the peace-making process, the authors of this book study the effects of peace agreements on societies from the ancient Greeks' to our own. Specifically, they explore what types of peace agreements are most likely to avert future conflict, introducing the theories, concepts and ethical perspectives available to evaluate peace-making strategies. Maps and chronologies supplement each case to summarize key events, people and circumstances and to give the reader a complete historical perspective from which to assess the prospects for peace in the twenty-first century.

From Library Journal:
Attempts to bring some form of peace to various parts of the world have dominated the headlines of the 20th century. This book is intended to stimulate critical thinking about the factors involved in the difficult peace process. Case studies ranging from the Peloponnesian and Punic Wars to the Persian Gulf War are utilized to examine how issues, problems, objectives, history, and personalities affect participants' goals and the often frustratingly incomplete outcomes. Most of the chapters can stand on their own, without having to refer back to other chapters. Maps, chronologies, and charts are scattered throughout the text, as are boxed quotes and questions designed to spur class discussion or term paper ideas. Reference notes follow each chapter. Kegley (Univ. of South Carolina) and Raymond (Boise State Univ.) previously published A Multipolar Peace? Great-Power Politics in the Twenty-First Century (St. Martin's, 1994). Suitable for academic and larger public libraries.?Daniel K. Blewett, Loyola Univ. Lib., Chicago
