Progressing Towards Settlement is a major academic study into the Management of Peace Processes. It builds on previous INCORE research project, Coming Out of Violence which examined five contemporary peace processes in South Africa, Israel/Palestine, Sri Lanka, the Basque Country and Northern Ireland.

The Progessing Towards Settlement project takes a thematic approach to the study of peace processes. It identifies major themes in peace processes (both CONTENT and PROCESS issues) and ASSESSES their contribution to peacemaking and stablilisatioon efforts in contemporary peace processes.

The project is co-ordinated by Professor John Darby, former Director of INCORE and currently a visiting Professor at the Kroc Institute at the University of Notre Dame, and Dr Roger MacGinty, a former research officer at INCORE and currently a lecturer at the Richardson Institute for Peace Studies at Lancaster University.

Leading academics in the study of ethnic conflict and conflict resolution will contribute towards an edited book on the Management of Peace Processes. The project is scheduled to end in late 2000.
