Where Have All the Peace Deals Gone?

In the past decade, war has become more prevalent, protracted and perilous, but few conflicts have ended primarily through negotiated settlements. The comprehensive peace agreements that ended fighting in places like Bosnia, Cambodia, Guatemala, El Salvador, Liberia and Sierra Leone in the 1990s and early 2000s seem to be a thing of the past. Today, political leaders around the world seem more willing to use violence to pursue their goals, while the involvement of multiple external players layers geopolitical enmities onto local struggles, blocking or at least complicating efforts to end the violence. Where bloodshed has declined – in Afghanistan, Ethiopia, Libya, Nagorno-Karabakh, Syria, and Yemen, for example – the lull owes more to battlefield dynamics than diplomacy, resulting in a lopsided victor's peace or a shaky state mate rather than sustainable accords. This event will identify the major challenges facing peacemaking today, explore what this means for mediation today, and consider what realistically can be expected in the changing landscape of international conflict resolution.
