Description
The Mediation Dilemma by Kyle Beardsley explores the limitations of mediation in resolving conflicts. While mediation has been successful in reducing hostilities, its long-term effects are often fragile and unsustainable. Beardsley examines the effectiveness of mediation through historical cases, including initiatives by Henry Kissinger and Jimmy Carter, as well as the 1993 Arusha Accords and the 2005 Memorandum of Understanding in Aceh. He argues that a reliance on mediation can lead to conflict relapse, while rejecting it risks ongoing bloodshed. The book highlights the importance of finding a balance between short-term and long-term peace, with a single mediator playing a key role in securing a self-enforcing arrangement among belligerents that can afford to wait.
