My first book, The Mediation Dilemma, examines why mediation tends to do well in the short run to abate conflict, but, in the long run, mediated settlements tend to be more fragile.
I am a contributor to the Understanding War and Peace textbook. My chapter on “Third-Party Peacemaking and Peacekeeping” is accessible to all undergraduate students and can be purchased as a stand-alone chapter.
I co-edited and contributed to a Research Handbook on Mediating International Crises. The handbook is an essential reference for postgraduate researchers and practitioners of international politics and conflict negotiation.
