  1. 16. Negotiating in Peace : Examining the Effect of Ceasefires during Negotiations on Reaching a Peace Accord

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för freds- och konfliktforskning

    Author : Luís Martínez Lorenzo; [2019]
    Keywords : Ceasefires; Peace Agreements; Negotiations; Africa; Internal Conflicts.;

    Abstract : Do ceasefires during peace negotiations facilitate reaching a peace agreement in internal armed conflicts? Existing case studies offer diverging arguments and mixed empirical evidence for whether ceasefires should precede or come after the more political settlements. In this regard, I argue that ceasefires facilitate that the combatant parties will reach a political deal by increasing mutual trust, alleviating the impact of two critical uncertainties in the negotiation stage: the uncertainty on whether the other party is willing to reach a negotiated settlement, and the uncertainty on whether the other party has the capacity to control their respective armed forces.

    Abstract : The quality of peace at the end of civil war has emerged as an important concept for understanding persistent security threats.

I argue that the psychological effect of a failing peace agreement shapes the individual’s propensity to terrorism by enhancing the appeal of a frame which favors “radical” action to advance the group’s struggle for recognition.

    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : This paper investigates the relationship between the level of implementation of peace agreement provisions regarding forced displacement and the durability of peace in a country.
