- Title
Examining structural components of peace agreements and their durability.
- Authors
Hoffman, Evan; Bercovitch, Jacob
- Abstract
The authors address a question that is central to many ADR studies; namely, are some peace agreements really better designed than others, and, if so, will these agreements last longer? It is argued that peace ultimately rests on the parties choosing to cooperate with one another to uphold the terms of the agreement. Peace is thus framed as an ongoing, dynamic process involving constant renegotiation. Mediators, therefore, need to be forward-looking and mindful of how to craft an agreement that has features that recognize the high likelihood that problems will arise after the formal signing.
