Abstract
Discusses the 1995 DPA that ended the Civil War in Bosnia. Division of Bosnia into the Serb Republic and the Federation (Muslim-Croat). DPA successful in peace keeping but ineffective in consensus building. High ethnic animosity. Issue of war crimes. Factors that act against reunification of Bosnia.
From the Paper
"The principal achievement of the 1995 Dayton Peace Accords (DPA) was the cessation of the civil war in Bosnia. The peace has been maintained for nearly six years, but this is only because of the presence of large numbers of U.S. and coalition troops. Some DPA objectives have barely begun to be accomplished. The return of minority refugees to various parts of the country, for instance, has been extremely slow and has met with resistance from potential returnees and those who drove them out in the first place. Ethnic animosity has remained extremely high according to most reports and this is mirrored in the perpetual instability of the central government of the Republic now known as Bosnia-Herzegovina. Despite the successful maintenance of peace the Dayton Accords offer very little in the way of a viable framework for reuniting Bosnia into an ..."

Abstract
This paper discusses obnoxious negative peace and substantive positive peace. These terms are found in a letter by Martin Luther King, Jr. expressing his opinion on direct action. Martin Luther King believed it was important to fight for substantive and positive peace for African Americans and it is important for Americans to continue to fight the battle for substantive and positive peace not only in America but throughout the world.
From the Paper
"Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere" (King 1963). What does this quotation mean? What is the difference obnoxious negative peace and substantive and positive peace? Why are these important today? These were important terms for Martin Luther King and they are important terms today. Martin Luther King believed that whatever affects one person actually affects every one else (King 1963). Many people living during the lifetime of Martin Luther King was willing to close their eyes to the violence and terrorism happening to African Americans. They believed that African Americans were wrong in taking a stand toward wanting their independence. Martin Luther King believed it was important to fight for substantive and positive peace for African Americans and it is important for Americans to continue to fight the battle for substantive and positive peace not only in America but throughout the world."

Abstract
This paper begins by providing an introduction and overview of the Bosnia-Herzegovina crisis. It then examines the Dayton Peace Accords and discusses what the role of the Accords was meant to be, the aims and purposes, and, finally, why the Accords failed.
From the Paper
"The conflict in Bosnia-Herzegovina stems from the hostility between peoples united by territory, heritage, and language, yet divided by religion. The proponents of the war are the Orthodox, Catholics and Muslims who share the territory of Yugoslavia. After World War I, the United States, Britain, and France established new territorial boundaries of the remnants of the war during the Versailles Conference of 1919. The conference resulted in the combining of the former members of the Austro-Hungarian Empire: Slovenia, Croatia, and Bosnia-Herzegovina, with Montenegro and Serbia. This formed of the Kingdom of Yugoslavia, or ?land of the South Slavs.? "

Wilson's Ability in Maintaining Peace, 2004.
A look at whether Woodrow Wilson possessed the will to maintain peace after WWI.

Abstract
Woodrow Wilson did not possess the will to maintain peace after the Great War. The writer asserts that there were three ways in which Wilson contributed to the build-up of tensions before WWII. First was Wilson?s failure in responding to the members of the Peace Accords in relation to the redrawing of German boundaries; his influence in tearing away predominantly German areas resulted in the planting of seeds for future war. The second reason that Wilson could not maintain peace was his inability to remove himself from partisan politics in America. The third reason was in relation to Wilson's "Fourteen Points", more specifically, the point of ?self-determination.? Close examination of these three points shows why Wilson is partly responsible for WWII.
From the Paper
"The Great War was a war of attrition. Many brave men on all both sides of the conflict, Axis and Allied Powers, met their fate fighting for their homelands during the years of 1914-1918. Never before had the world seen such a horrid war fought in the grand scope and magnitude of nations versus nations. Great sacrifices were made in part to the loss of human life through mechanization of artillery to the inception of chemical warfare. (Would such a tragic lesson be reason enough for peace among sovereigns?) Unfortunately, the peace was not afforded to the constituents of the Paris conference, nor those that threw away their lives in the second war that shortly followed in 1939. While there were many causes for the Second World War, it would be a herculean effort to name and attribute them all. A few of the major causes included the onset of war reparations since repayment would be next to impossible for the Germans to meet in the allotted time. Secondly were the sanctions imposed upon the size of the German military which was considered a measure of further alienation, and thirdly were territorial settlement disputes. All three factors were great causes that angered the Nazis to disregard the Peace Accords in the early 1930?s with Hitler?s rise to power."

Vietnam War Peace Negotiations, 2002.
Insight into the peace negotiations at the end of the Vietnam War.

Abstract
This paper examines how, after more than a quarter-century after the end of American military involvement in Vietnam, the Vietnam War remains a great unsettled question in American public life. It focuses in particular on the peace negotiations that eventually bought the war to an end when agreement was finally reached, in 1973, in the form of the Paris Peace Accords. It analyzes how the United States in effect accepted formal victory with the likelihood of deferred defeat, while North Vietnam accepted formal defeat with the likelihood of deferred victory.

Endgame
From the Paper
"Thus, in the case of Vietnam, when the United States signed the Paris Peace Accords in 1973, it did so in the face of two alternative options that resembled each other only in being undesirable. One option was continuing direct American military involvement for the foreseeable future; the other was withdrawal of American forces without negotiations. The first entailed an indefinite continuation of American combat casualties and consequent (and probably growing) domestic unrest and political dissension. The second implied the probable near-immediate collapse of South Vietnam (as well as possible abandonment of American prisoners of war), with its own set of international and domestic consequences."

Abstract
In this essay, the writer notes that there is consensus from academic as well as popular sources that the Oslo peace process ended in failure. However, as this study discusses, the perceived intentions and aims of the Oslo Accords were not always seen by the different parties as a formula for the complete cessations of all conflict and disagreements. This paper provides an overview of the Accords and explores the central reason for the failure of these Accords. Another aspect that is touched on is the relative paucity of analysis of the lessons that have been learnt from the failure of Oslo. The writer concludes that there is little doubt that a central aspect that contributed to this failure was loss of faith and trust in the process and fundamentally a suspicion of intention from various quarters.

From the Paper
"However, as this study discusses, the perceived intentions and aims of the Oslo Accords were not always seen by the different parties as a formula for the complete cessations of all conflict and disagreements. Nevertheless the hope and confidence that was publicly displayed and engendered by the Oslo Accords not only failed in terms of the goals and time constraints but also failed to a large extent to create a more promising environment for the solution of the Israeli-Palestinian problem."
"There are a plethora of debate, studies and dissertations which deal with the aspects that resulted in the demise of the Oslo Accords."

Abstract
This paper discusses the ongoing attempts at peace between the Palestinians and Israel. The paper examines the 1993 Oslo Accords that initiated the peace process. The paper presents a brief overview of the history between the two nations that led up to the historic signing of the Oslo Accords. The course of events since the signing of the agreement is outlined in the paper, with notation of the obstacles encountered each step of the way. The paper contends that the question of peace between Israel and the Palestinians remains unanswered.
From the Paper
"The Palestinians did not feel this was fair and in 1967, the Six Day War occurred. The Palestinians had planned to crush Israel with the help of other armies from Jordan, Egypt, etc. All did not go as planned and the Palestinians lost more than just the war. Israel gained control of the West Bank and Gaza Strip. Earlier in the decade, the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) was created with Yasir Arafat as its leader. The PLO was a political and "paramilitary" organization of Palestinian Arabs dedicated to the establishment of an independent Palestinian state between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea. Their intent was to replace Israel. In more recent years, its official goal has been redefined to conquer only the West Bank and Gaza Strip. There are certain parts of the organization that do not agree with the new definition and still wish to conquer all of Israel."

From the Paper
"This research compares the provisions of the Camp David Accord in 1979 with the provisions of the Declaration of Principles in 1993. The Camp David Accord was a negotiated set of principles that provided the framework for the negotiation of a peace treaty between Egypt and Israel (Spiegel, 1987, p. 180). The Declaration of Principles was a negotiated agreement on the principles in 1993 that provide a framework within which Israel and the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) will conclude a peace agreement (Feith, 1994, p. 32)."

Abstract
This paper discusses the peace paradigm in terms of realism, power, conflict resolution, and social change. The paper explains the role of a paradigm, outlines the peace paradigm strategies used to obtain peace and presents a definition of power. Gives specific examples.
From the Paper
"One of the approaches to the peace paradigm is through the study of the role played in obtaining peace through the exercise of power and coercive tactics. According to Lynn-Jones realism is usually regarded as a dominant and somewhat monolithic approach in the study of international relations. Within the realist approach there are divisions between offensive and defensive realism. Offensive realists argue that the international system tends to foster conflict and aggression, that security is scarce and international competition and war..."

Abstract
This essay looks at people who have turned trauma and pain into a positive experience. It discusses the work of Mairead Corrigan Maguire who organised peaceful demonstrations in N.Ireland, wrote poetry that inspired millions and through her efforts to develop a "politics of mercy and forgiveness," won a Nobel Peace prize.

Woodrow Wilson?s 14 Points and the Women's Peace Movement, 2003.

Abstract
The paper discusses how, in 1915, The Hague convention represented women from 22 different countries with the main focus of achieving peace. It examines how this process for peace was deemed feasible by a series of resolutions established by the Women?s Peace Congress and how these resolutions focused on many key ideas that the Women?s Peace Congress believed could create world peace. It demonstrates the irony of President Woodrow Wilson's refusal to lead the international mediation and how many of the principles established at the Women?s Peace Congress in The Hague, were echoed with the publication of Woodrow Wilson?s 14 Points, which earned him much international praise, three years later.
From the Paper
"The principle for autonomy of nations is demonstrated in both the 14 points and the Resolutions adopted at Hague as well. The Women?s Peace Congress was much broader as they simply stated, ?autonomy and a democratic parliament should not be refused to any people (Addams, 3).? Wilson singled out the exact countries, ?the other nationalities which are now under Turkish rule should be assured an undoubted security of life and an absolutely unmolested opportunity of autonomous development.? Wilson also requested the autonomy of the peoples of Austria Hungary, Rumania, Serbia, Montenegro, and Poland. The Women?s Peace Congress simply expressed the belief that countries should be allowed autonomy, while Wilson?s 14 Points rather put them into play in the specific nations that he felt were most important."

Camp David Accords, 2004.
This paper examines the history and the events of the Camp David Accords, focusing on the effects of the agreement on the regional balance of power in the Middle East.

Abstract
The first part of the paper looks at the goals of the accords, particularly in terms of economics, politics, and the military. The next part looks at the behavior that the Israeli, Egyptian, and the United States governments brought to the bargaining table at Camp David. Particular attention is paid to the dual role the American government played as both participant and mediator in these negotiations. In the conclusion, the paper examines why the Camp David Accords failed to bring about a permanent peace in the region and makes recommendations regarding the conditions necessary for a lasting peace in the Middle East.
From the Paper
'Signed in 1978, the historic Camp David Accords were supposed to usher in a new era of peace between Israel and Egypt. Because the deal was brokered by then President Jimmy Carter at his Maryland presidential retreat, the Camp David Accords also signified the growing role of the United States in maintaining an international balance of power. The accord further illustrated how this global and regional balance of power has superseded traditional territorial conquests in the Middle East region, raising hopes that diplomatic channels could help bring about an elusive peace.'

UN and Peace Maintenance, 2005.
Questions whether the UN has been successful in establishing and maintaining international peace and security. Uses examples of Rwanda and Iraq.

Abstract
The writer of this paper argues that the United Nations, although having achieved minor accomplishments in the area of maintenance of peace and security, can, generally speaking, not be considered a successful international organization. Instead, the United Nations has failed on a number of times throughout the past to maintain international peace and security. These failures were in situations where peace and security were reasonable outcomes. So, therefore, the UN is obviously not working to the best of its ability. To argue this point, the paper begins with an extensive analysis of the United Nations and its failures in the maintenance of international peace and security through two specific case studies, Rwanda, and most recently, Iraq. It then discusses the limited successes of the UN and examines the possible reasons for its overall failure to address the maintenance of international peace and security adequately and consistently. Finally, the writer briefly proposes possible reforms that the UN could adopt in order for the organization to operate more effectively in the international environment.
From the Paper
"The UN has many areas in which it could improve through reform. Due to the limited word count, I have chosen to not discuss this topic in too much depth. The areas of reform seem obvious from the problems I have mentioned previously. For the UN to succeed, the world community must match the demands made on the organisation by the resources given to it . Strong and sustained political support from Member States , rapid deployments of all peacekeeping and peacemaking troops with a robust force posture and sound peace-building strategies are all necessary in improving the UN. There have been a number of attempts at addressing the issue of reform. These include the Brahimi report, which was commissioned by the UN Secretary General to address the past weaknesses and failures of the UN with regard to peace and security and An Agenda for Peace, written by Boutros Boutros Ghali, the former Secretary General. Both reports recognised problems with the UN?s capacity to maintain world peace but many of the recommendations that were suggested were not implemented. In order for the UN to be successful in maintaining international peace and security, reforms have to not only be recognised, but also implemented."

Abstract
Terrorism has become embedded in almost everyone's vocabulary, it is one of those terms, that not everyone knows what it means, but it seems to be surrounded with negative connotations. However, it is not surprising that terrorism is sometimes abetted with state sponsorship and is supported by many governments whether intrinsically or extrinsically. As such international peace-keeping efforts have to change focus and address these internal dynamics. This paper explores some of the necessary mandates that are needed by personnel dealing with these issues.

Abstract
Introduction
Basic Communication, Conflict Resolution, & Negotiation
Communication: The Essential Element of a Successful Training Program in a Peace-Keeping Environment
Conflict Resolution & Negotiation in a Peace Keeping Environment
Techniques of Motivation in a Diverse Peace-Keeping Environment
Individual Decision-Making and Group Behavior
Leadership Training For Supervisors in these Organizations
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Conflict resolution and peace keeping has been an issue of controversy for many years. However, with the proper training mechanism and structure, then peace and humanitarian operations can be the champions of a successful organizational initiative. It is therefore imperative that there be a comprehensive discourse embedded in the training structure for these operations that can analyze elements of the foreign conflict resolution and negotiation strategies. The connection between an effective training program or structure with the overall success of conflict resolution and negotiations will depend primarily on how well the program identifies the necessary political, economic, and cultural realms that have been affected by the dimensions of the operations. Overall, it is clear that conflict resolution and negotiation policy training is reactive and preventative, since it would be devised to counter, and to prohibit actions that were seen as harmful to the peace initiatives."
