Implementing Peace Agreements

The author opens a new line of research by examining the implementation period of a peace process through the lens of decision-making. Little prior scholarship has examined the interim period between the initial peace agreement and the resultant governing body. The book will appeal to those interested in general processes of civil war and peacekeeping, as well as to regionalists and practitioners alike. The author applies innovative theoretical arguments to timely and fascinating case studies. This is strong and varied scholarship, a great addition to the African Studies list.This book critically investigates the conditions facing the warring parties during the implementation of the peace agreements in Mozambique, Angola, and Liberia. The successes and failures in these three countries highlight the incentives available to mediators and the international community to keep the peace process from faltering.
