The role of mediation in peacemaking and peacekeeping negotiations

摘要: Abstract We develop a model of bargaining that provides rationale for the difference in method negotiation, depending on nature conflict. distinguish those negotiations take place previous to potential conflict (peacekeeping), and inside (peacemaking). In these contexts, we study role mediator who tries achieve certain balance between efficiency agreement equality final sharing. show credibility comes from her willingness impose delays even if implies costs. also find how player with “weak” position can strategically profit mediator's quest equality. Finally, capacity induce higher sharing is always peacemaking situation than peacekeeping one.
