The
Management of Peace Processes is the result of the monitoring of five
peace processes (Israel/Palestine, South Africa, Basque Country, Sri Lanka
and Northern Ireland) for more than two years. The project was conducted
by academic partners based in five areas. Based on interviews with key
players in all five peace processes, it identifies those factors which
facilitate or block political movement in deeply divided societies. It
highlights issues of negotiation and constitutional change, political
violence, economics, external influences, public opinion and symbolism,
and challenges a number of accepted notions about peace processes.
