Synopsis:
Most experts agree that international involvement is necessary to help end civil wars, but few have looked at how, when, and where the United Nations and outside governments should do so. Here a team of scholars examines the varied experiences of the last 20 years to offer practical advice. They find that the local conditions surrounding settlements vary widely. In relatively benign environments, such as Guatemala and Namibia, traditional peacekeeping approaches involving confidence building and dialogue are possible. In more demanding environments, such as Bosnia and Sierra Leone, outside states need to compel and deter local factions to ensure they comply with the peace agreement. But the most important source of failures is the presence of "spoilers" -- factions that continue to resist peace -- and unhelpful neighboring states that oppose a settlement.
