Reviews for Words Over War
Words over War is part of the important series of books and reports sponsored by the Carnegie Commission on Preventing Deadly Conflict. The book is a welcome addition to the study of conflict prevention and dispute resolution.
The American Journal Of International Law
The case studies in this volume discuss at length the changing international arena and the role of the international community in mediating deadly conflict. The studies represent a fascinating cross section of conflict in the post–Cold War era. . . . Only by studying different forms of mediation, and at the same time by comparing controlled variables, can we begin to understand how to make mediation more effective and how to use it in our arsenal of tools for preventing deadly conflict. . . . I sincerely hope that this volume will inspire future mediators in their search for peace and reconciliation.
