Darilek | | Publication Date: December 1995 | | Publisher: RAND | | Description: 'This report stresses the importance of encouraging interested parties from the Middle East to select, tailor, and pursue approaches that are already available to meet their particular crisis prevention objectives, as well as to begin the selection process by specifying those objectives for themselves.' | | http://www.amazon.com/exec/obid | Date Added: 11/22/2003 |

| A Very Political Economy: Peacebuilding and Foreign Aid in the West Bank and Gaza | Report Error | | Author: Rex Brynen | | Publication Date: 2000 | | Publisher: United States Institute of Peace | | Description: 'Brynen first outlines the general challenges presented by international donor assistance. Within that framework, he then examines the underdeveloped economic condition of the West Bank and Gaza under Israeli occupation, the mobilization and coordination of donor assistance after Oslo, and the delivery and allocation of aid up to the late 1990s. Finally, Brynen compares the Palestinian experience with the record of foreign aid elsewhere and offers general insights into the complex relationship between foreign aid and peacebuilding.' | | http://www.amazon.com/exec/obid | Date Added: 10/5/2003 |

| Between Russia and the West: Hungary and the Illusions of Peacemaking 1945-1947 | Report Error | | Author: Stephen D. Kertesz, Gerard T. Rice | | Publication Date: 1986 | | Publisher: Univ of Notre Dame Press | | Description: 'The Peace Corps is one of the most cheering and less appreciated success stories of the Cold War era. Happily, Rice is a scholar who understands its value. In this clear and comprehensive account of the Corps's formative years, he surveys the origins of the Peace Corps idea and the political and bureaucratic considerations that shaped its development. Emphasizing the inspiring lead of John F. Kennedy and the practical drive of its first director, Sargent Shriver, Rice details the early structure, rules, and training of the Corps, as well as the kind of young Americans who rallied to it. Unfortunately, this work does not take the story far beyond the Kennedy years. But Rice well realizes his first purpose. He has set down the definitive historical treatment of an enterprise that deserves fuller appreciation and support.' | | http://www.amazon.com/exec/obid | Date Added: 10/5/2003 |

Black Garden: Armenia and Azerbaijan Through Peace and War  | Report Error | | Author: Thomas de Waal | | Publication Date: May 2003 | | Publisher: New York University Press | | Description: 'Black Garden is the definitive study of how Armenia and Azerbaijan, two southern Soviet republics, got sucked into a conflict that helped bring them to independence, bringing to an end the Soviet Union, and plaguing a region of great strategic importance. It cuts between a careful reconstruction of the history of Nagorny Karabakh conflict since 1988 and on-the-spot reporting on its convoluted aftermath.' | | http://www.amazon.com/exec/obid | Date Added: 9/15/2003 |

| Constructing the Stable State: Goals for Intervention and Peacebuilding | Report Error | | Author: Kathleen Hill Hawk (Author) | | Publication Date: 2002 | | Publisher: Praeger Publishers | | Description: 'Through examining interventions in Somalia, Bosnia, and Kosovo, Hawk argues that external actors--foreign governments, international organizations, and private groups--must pay more attention to (re)constructing the state as a capable, effective, and legitimate entity as a means to bring about a stable peace. She draws 23 lessons from her cases, nine applicable to military interventions in general and 14 specific to statebuilding efforts.' | | http://www.amazon.com/exec/obid | Date Added: 10/5/2003 |

| Cyprus and International Peacemaking | Report Error | | Author: Farid Mirbagheri | | Publication Date: 1998 | | Publisher: Routledge | | Description: 'This book traces the international community's attempts to achieve a solution to the 'Cyprus problem' from 1964-86, and analyzes why it has failed. It also discusses the deep mutual distrust between Turks and Greeks throughout the Eastern Mediterranean, which hampers all attempts to reach a satisfactory solution to this intractable problem. Mirbagheri also examines the divergent policies of the key external players and how they have contributed to the current stalemate.' | | http://www.amazon.com/exec/obid | Date Added: 10/5/2003 |

| Cyprus Ethnic Conflict and International Politics: From Independence to the Threshold of the European Union | Report Error | | Author: Joseph S. Joseph | | Publication Date: November 1999 | | Publisher: Palgrave Macmillan | | Description: 'Since the 1950s Cyprus has been a place of tension, friction, and violence caused by the clashing interests and claims of the two local communities and three NATO allies-Greece, Turkey and Britain. The far-reaching consequences of the conflict, seen in connection with the strategic location of the island, have presented danger and opportunity to the US and Russia, threatened international peace and security, and caused UN, NATO and EU involvement in various ways and settings. This scholarly analysis examines the causes and dynamics of the Cyprus problem at both domestic and international levels.' | | http://www.amazon.com/exec/obid | Date Added: 11/22/2003 |

| Democracy and International Conflict: An Evaluation of the Democratic Peace Proposition | Report Error | | Author: James Lee Ray, Donald J. Puchala (Editor), Charles W., Jr. Kegley (Editor) | | Publication Date: MArch 1998 | | Publisher: University of South Carolina Press | | Description: 'Ray defends the hotly debated thesis that democratic states do not initiate war against one another and therefore offer an avenue to universal peace. Responding to the major criticisms of this democratic peace proposition, Ray offers a systematic analysis of regime transitions and a workable definition of democracy, as well as a careful scrutiny of cases in which democracies averted international conflict.' | | http://www.amazon.com/exec/obid | Date Added: 11/22/2003 |
