The Limits of Peace:
Third Parties in Civil Wars in Southeast Asia,1993–2004

Topic: Prävention
Region: Asien
At of the end of 2005, Asia had the highest number of active civil war
dyads. The number of active dyads in other regions was either low or
declining. Africa, in particular, experienced a sharp drop in the number
of active dyads from 2001 to 2005.
Civil wars in Asia also last longer than wars in other regions. With a high number of warring dyads fighting in long wars, the expectation would be that the region would be the focus of third-party conflict management, but this is not the case. In this
article, an original data set is used to take a closer look at this gap in
expectations by focusing on third-party efforts in Southeast Asia between
1993 and 2004. Bilateral talks were the most common form of third party
engagement, but mediation has been the most likely form to
lead to agreements between warring parties.
