The Consequences of Failed Mediation in Civil Wars: Assessing the Sri Lankan Case
Tamil people protesting against violence in Sri Lanka
This paper looks at how failed mediation efforts can lead to an escalation of civil war, using Sri Lanka as a case study. The authors argue that the negotiability of the conflict parties’ strategic objectives, as well as the relative weight of hardliners and moderates within those conflict parties, influence the likelihood of escalation after mediation failure.
