'This is a superb collection of articles on mediating international crises, one of the best I have seen. It is thematic, with insightful, well-informed contributions from accomplished scholars and experts, which, importantly, consider critical changes in the characteristics of the international system. It includes rich policy-relevant recommendations, especially in the concluding chapter. Highly recommended for scholars and practitioners alike.'
--Shibley Telhami, University of Maryland, College Park and the Brookings Institution, US

'Given the sterling list of contributors, the reader is likely to have high expectations of this book - and s/he will not be disappointed! It ranges over all the key aspects of mediation and covers them well by theory, large-N empirical analysis, and case studies.'
--Nils Petter Gleditsch, Peace Research Institute Oslo (PRIO), Norway
