Summary

In this volume, prominent contributors explain the development, theory, and current practice of second track diplomacy. They examine the dynamics of modern complex conflicts, such as those in Sri Lanka, Israel/Palestine, Cyprus, and the Caucasus. Exploring innovative problem-solving methodologies, the book provides a detailed program for guiding partners in conflict in the search for common ground and analyzes core issues that arise in the practice and evaluation of second track diplomacy. This book will be valuable to both academics and professionals involved in first or second track diplomacy, or interested in integrative methods of dispute resolution or conflict prevention, as well as to those working in development, peacebuilding or humanitarian programs at any phase of the conflict cycle.
