  • Anticipating mediated talks : Predicting the timing of mediation with disaggregated Conflict dynamics
    Journal of Peace Research, 2015
    Co-Authors: Constantin Ruhe
    Abstract:

    Research on mediation has shown that mediation can be an effective Conflict management tool to contain intrastate Conflicts, prevent escalation of low intensity Conflicts, and foster de-escalation. But can ripe moments for Conflict prevention effectively be anticipated? This article argues that the short-term Conflict history provides a good predictor of the probability of mediation onset in low-intensity Conflicts. It builds on an expected utility theory of mediation and states that Conflict intensity is a primary indicator of whether a window of opportunity for mediation exists. Thereby, the article asserts that the direction of the effect is conditional on the respective probability of victory of each Conflict Party. The theory postulates that high Conflict intensity only increases the probability of mediation onset when neither side is likely to prevail militarily. If one of the Conflict parties has a high chance of a military success, then it will not regard Conflict intensity as costly, since it can expect to impose these costs on its opponent. Under these circumstances the Conflict parties will not be willing to engage in mediation. The article presents empirical support for this proposition. It uses temporally disaggregated data of low-intensity African Conflicts from 1993 to 2004 and demonstrates that the theoretically motivated model predicts mediation onset with high accuracy. The results show that Conflict dynamics are highly relevant covariates in predicting mediation. This selection process should be considered when the impact of mediation is evaluated.

  • third Party intervention in intergroup reconciliation the role of neutrality and common identity with the other Conflict Party
    Group Processes & Intergroup Relations, 2015
    Co-Authors: Nicole Syringa Harth, Nurit Shnabel
    Abstract:

    Third parties, particularly if neutral, have been found to promote instrumental Conflict resolution. Using the needs-based model’s theoretical framework, we investigated whether third parties can also promote socioemotional reconciliation. Study 1 (N = 124) revealed that in the context of fraud between universities, conciliatory messages from either the other Conflict Party or a third Party sharing common identity with it increased group members’ willingness to reconcile more than equivalent messages from a neutral third Party. Replicating and extending this pattern, Study 2 (N = 177) exposed Israeli Jewish participants to texts which reminded them of historical transgressions conducted by Palestinians or against them. We found that compared to a control condition, messages supposedly conveyed by either Palestinians or Jordanians, but not by the UN, increased Israeli Jews’ willingness to reconcile with Palestinians. These effects were mediated by the extent to which the official conveying these messages w...
