Description:
The paper presents a proposal that addresses the need for a multidimensional awareness of the different factors that constitute the nature of that conflict in order to prevent conflict and bring about lasting transformation. The paper reviews the literature and explains that the goal of this research will be to evaluate the success and failures of various attempts at conflict resolution and to determine the balance between the needs and requirements for peace and the application of intervention methods and techniques. The paper concludes by emphasizing the importance of gaining insight into the factors that promote positive and successful conflict intervention and identifying the aspects that increase conflict.

From the Paper:
"As Michael Olisa points out in Nyongo's Arms and Daggers in the heart of Africa (1993), conflict resolution when implemented by external or outside agencies can sometimes create more problems than there were initially. An imperative aspect of conflict intervention is that it should be perceived to be impartial and unbiased. This refers particularly to many conflict areas in Africa, such as the Congo, where external intervention in the internal conflict has largely failed or not produced the desired results."Therefore, as central trajectory of this research will be to evaluate the success and failures of various central attempts at conflict resolution in the light of certain cardinal issues and parameters. Furthermore, it is the balance between the needs and requirements for peace and the application of intervention methods and techniques that will be critical focal point of this evaluation.
"This also refers to various studies that discuss the limitations of various conflict resolution attempts. A study by Saner and Yiu entitled External Stakeholder Impacts on Third-Party Interventions in Resolving Malignant Conflicts: The Case of a Failed Third-Party Intervention in Cyprus, serves as initial example. This study explores the potentially positive and negative impact of intervention in terms of the influence of the effect that multiple and competing external stakeholders, such as foreign powers, supranational institutions and NGOs, can have on third-party peace building initiatives."
