{"product_id":"negotiating-with-the-devil-pierre-hazan-9781911723110","title":"Negotiating with the Devil: Inside the World of Armed Conflict Mediation","description":"After many years in the little-known world of back- channel mediation, helping sworn adversaries to prevent, manage or resolve conflict, Pierre Hazan felt compelled to re-examine the acute practical and ethical dilemmas that affected his work in Bosnia, Ukraine, the Sahel and the Central African Republic. What is the mediator's responsibility when two belligerents conclude a peace agreement to the detriment of a third? Should mediators never be party to 'ethnic cleansing', even if it saves lives? Is a fragile peace worth sacrificing justice for--or will that sacrifice fuel another cycle of violence? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn an increasingly dystopian world, \u003cem\u003eNegotiating with the Devil\u003c\/em\u003e offers both practical guidelines and a moral compass for mediators whose field of action has transformed dramatically. We have gone from soft to hard power; from \"peace dividends\" to war in Europe; from the end of one Cold War to a new East-West confrontation in Ukraine; from Pax Americana to a multipolar world; from the dream of an all-powerful UN to the organization's marginalization. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAgainst this tapestry, Hazan sheds light on the complex work of those steering peace negotiations, blending vivid first-hand observation with sharp insights into the psychology of compromise as a first step towards peace.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Pierre Hazan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1911723111\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781911723110\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Hurst \u0026amp; Co.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/15\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 244\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.55h x 5.35w x 0.92d","brand":"Pierre Hazan","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44966487490815,"sku":"9781911723110","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_eff0e37e-0727-4bd7-801f-5b32968f1672.jpg?v=1711159988","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/negotiating-with-the-devil-pierre-hazan-9781911723110","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
