Book Description
Has any good come out of the efforts to mediate the conflicts in the former Yugoslavia? The short answer is, 'Yes, but...' Mediation has brought about agreements that halted the fighting in Slovenia, Croatia and Bosnia. Yet, the negotiations took too long, and their achievements came too late. Between 1991 and 1995 some two hundred thousand people lost their lives, and close to two million were uprooted from their homes. Saadia Touval examines why the efforts to reach a negotiated solution have not been more effective. He calls attention to two lessons: that collective mediation faces much greater obstacles than mediation by individual states, and that a mediator's priority should be saving lives, rather than aiming at other objectives, or even pursuing justice.

Book Description
Conflicts in the international system, both among and within states, bring death, destruction, and human misery. Understanding how third parties use mediation to encourage settlements and establish a durable peace among belligerents is vital for managing these conflicts. Among many features, this book empirically examines the history of post-World War II mediation efforts to: Chart the historical changes in the types of conflicts that mediation addresses and the links between different mediation efforts across time. Explore the roles played by providers of mediation in the international system - namely, individuals, states, and organizations - in managing violent conflicts. Gauge the influence of self-interest and altruism as motivating forces that determine which conflicts are mediated and which are ignored. Evaluate what we know about the willingness of parties in conflict to accept mediation, when and why it is most effective, and discuss the future challenges facing mediators in the contemporary world. Drawing on a wide range of examples from the Oslo Accords and Good Friday Agreement to efforts to manage the civil wars in Burundi, Tajikistan, and Bosnia, this book is an indispensable guide to international mediation for students, practitioners, and general readers seeking to understand better how third parties can use mediation to deal with the globe’s trouble spots.

Book Description
Lapple+ puzzle is more challenging version of Lapple puzzle. If you are unfamiliar with lapple/lapple+ puzzles, you may be asking, "What is a lapple/lapple+ puzzle?" A lapple/lapple+ puzzle is an overLAPPing word puzzle. Each puzzle contains a word overlap from one to four letters. The objective is the find consecutive overlapping words by following the string from beginning to end. For example, in the string KIDNAPKINGDOMESTICATERRORIST, one finds the words KID, KIDNAP, NAPKIN, KING, KINGDOM, DOMESTICATE, CATER, and TERRORIST.The overall benefits of working lapple puzzles include better memory, faster problem-solving skills, and increased alertness. Lapple puzzles help reinforce logic, critical thinking, and visualization. The mental exercise required to solve the puzzles provided in this book improves working memory.Whether lapple puzzles are new for you, or you are already a lapple puzzle fan, this book will challenge you with lapple+ puzzles containing 161 letters (lapple puzzles contain 127 letters). Whatever the experience level or age of the solver - child, adult, or senior - lapple puzzles provide the puzzle solver with an activity that is not only fun, but also mentally challenging. Lapple+ puzzles have the solution words listed below the puzzle with letters reversed (Lapple puzzles have solutions listed in a different section of the book.)Benefits of Lapple Puzzle SolvingIn recent years, scientists have begun to pay more attention to the brain. The human brain is considered extremely complicated in its design and working. However, we know relatively little about how it works. We do know from studies that health benefits are derived from exercising the brain. Our minds, like our bodies, need stimulation and exercise. Working word, number, and logic puzzles provides that exercise for our brains.Improved Focus and AttentionPuzzles can help your mind form new patterns and complex neural networks naturally. Scientists have found that your brain actually reorganizes itself in response to new challenges, and a lapple puzzle provides such a challenge.Lapple puzzles also improve focus and attention while solutions are sought. Finding solutions requires a certain amount of solitude without distraction. Concentrated attention is an excellent skill to develop that will aid you in many areas of life.Increased Mental StimulationLapple puzzles provide you with an activity that is not only fun, but also mentally challenging. Thus, working lapple puzzles can increase your mental stimulation.Intelligence Quotient - IQ - is a scientific assessment of your intelligence. Your IQ is derived from measuring problem solving abilities, memory, general knowledge, and spatial imagery. The average God-given IQ of an adult is 150. It cannot be increased by medical science, because of the microbiology of the brain. Your average effective (day-to-day) IQ is only 100-110, mostly due to neglect - lack of brain exercises.Contrary to popular belief, your brain is capable of growth (effective IQ) and change throughout your life. The daily effective IQ can be increased by various mental activities, among them lapple puzzle solving.Enhanced Thinking SkillsAdults do not realize while working puzzles that they are using thinking skills. Our brains learn new skills and acquire knowledge throughout our lives. Mastering puzzle-solving skills improves thinking.Adults have a natural ability to play and be creative with words. Lapple puzzles can enhance and boost creative intelligence. This is a great opportunity improve the brain's overall health and longevity.Improved MemoryMuch has been made of the health benefits of doing brain puzzles. Puzzles require brain exertion (exercise). Therefore, puzzles improve memory and encourage better brain function. This can lead to improved concentration and memory.

Book Description
This book provides a critical examination of NATO’s evolving strategic and operational roles in the Western Balkans since the disintegration of Yugoslavia in 1991, with a particular focus on Bosnia, Kosovo and the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, in both the conflict and post-conflict phases. While there is a myriad of literature available on the various conflicts that engulfed the former Yugoslavia after the collapse of communism, less has been written on NATO’s overall role in these conflicts. This text, therefore, fills the gap, offering a thematic study of NATO’s roles and duties in this region from the early 1990s to the present day. The ‘levels of analysis’ introduced by Mulchinock provide a new framework for examining NATO’s response to the Yugoslav wars of secession, focusing on the role of key NATO member states and the role of different NATO Secretaries-General, along with the impact of inter-institutional cooperation (and conflict) with other international organisations.

Book Description
Using more than 600 UN documents that analyse the discussions in the UN Security Council, General Assembly and Secretariat, The United Nations and peacekeeping, 1988-95 presents innovative explanations on how after the Cold War UN peacekeeping operations became the dominant response to conflicts around the globe. This study offers a vivid description of these changes through the analysis of the evolution in the concept and practice of United Nations peacekeeping operations from 1988 to 1995. The research is anchored primarily in United Nations documents, which were produced following the diplomatic discussions that took place in the General Assembly, the Security Council and the UN Secretariat on the subject of peacekeeping in general and in the cases of Cambodia, Former Yugoslavia and Somalia in particular. These large and complex operations were the testing ground for the new roles of peacekeeping in democratisation, humanitarian aid, resettlement of refugees, demobilisation of armed forces, economic development and advancement of good government.

Book Description
This book presents a conceptual and empirical analysis of the UN-led multiparty mediation in the Tajikistan conflict. Multiparty mediation has been a significant research topic of international conflict management since the 1990s, but in-depth case studies on the peacemaking dynamics of violent conflicts are rare, particularly in regard to third-party roles. This volume addresses that gap in the literature by examining the multiparty mediation of the Tajikistan conflict, a largely forgotten but notably successful case of UN-orchestrated peacemaking in the post-Cold War era. It argues that several interrelated factors contributed to the "success" of the Tajik multiparty mediation: Russia, Iran, and other major interveners shared a common interest, and reached a broad consensus on the terms of settlement; the UN was widely accepted as a lead coordinator by other mediators, and succeeded in constructively engaging with them; as a consequence, there arose positive interconnections between different third-party roles. The book presents an analytical framework for understanding the complex interplay of these factors, not only to evaluate the Tajik case but also to help clarify policy implications for multiparty mediation in other cases of violent conflict, particularly civil wars. This book will be of much interest to students of conflict resolution, civil wars, international mediation, the UN, Central Asian politics, and International Relations.
