“…Moreover, powerful third parties can also contribute to higher levels of peace through the foreign aid that they can promise (Press-Barnathan, 2009). In this context, they might even be considered as "ripeners" of the process (Zartman, 1985).…”

“…Universalist norms can be seen as not being applicable in their relations given the "unique" security challenges that they face. In addition, given that outside intervention is seen as being more effective during periods of a mutually hurting stalemate (Zartman, 1985), i.e. periods during which both sides are suffering and neither side can break the stalemate through individual action, the universalist period might result in stagnation at frozen peace.…”

Purpose This study aims to contribute to discussions on peace between hostile nonmajor powers by focusing on the behavior of major powers. Specifically, alliances between nonmajor and major powers are explored to determine whether such ties contribute to transitions to higher levels of peace. Moreover, systemic factors involving power dynamics and relationships between major powers are also evaluated. Design/methodology/approach Multiple data sets which altogether covered the era from 1816 to 2010 were analyzed. All pairs of countries that were former foes were considered. Cox hazard regression was conducted. Findings Systemic instability is influential at transitions from lowest levels of peace for nonmajor power dyads. Eras where major powers are operating multilaterally appear to play a highly limited role in nonmajor powers attaining stable peace. However, alliances with major powers are relatively more crucial in these discussions for nonmajor powers and contribute to higher levels of peace being attained by nonmajor powers. Research limitations/implications Further research in particular with case studies can help to elucidate and extend the statistical findings. Practical implications Based on the findings, the design and operations of alliances can create more space to hear a wider range of issues that allies can be facing. Originality/value While major powers clearly have considerable capacity and global outreach, there has been little attention to whether and how they contribute to former foes attaining higher quality of peace.

“…Equally important are factors such as wishing to recover "sunk costs", or minimising losses by going on to "win", no matter what additional future costs might be involved, or simply not being able to see any alternative. The dynamic of entrapment is thus a complex one, but the end result of the changes that are involved in a party's becoming entrapped are usually the same: greater difficulty in changing from what William Zartman (1985) described as a "winning mentality" to a "negotiating mentality" and a likely perpetuation of the conflict.…”

The study explores the Conflict Management Styles (CMS) of faculty and staff and relationship of the CMS with their demographic profiles with an aim to develop a possible training program in Conflict Management. The participants were 26 faculty and 14 staff. Data were gathered using survey, interview and FGD. The instrument used is the Thomas-Killman CMS Inventory. The instrument yielded a CVI of 0.91 and a Cronbach Alpha of 0 .95 which show that the validity and reliability of the instrument is very high The data were analyzed by means of the descriptive statistics, the Z-test for independent sample means to determine the ratio of proportion of difference between the conflict management styles as perceived by the respondents; and the Chi square to determine any relationship between conflict management styles and demographic profiles of respondents. Results of the study reveal that the faculty and staff use different CMS. The dominant conflict management style for the faculty is avoiding and for the staff is compromising. It also shows that the faculty with administrative positions and some staff use combinations of the CMS like compromising-collaborating. The demographic profiles of the faculty and staff do not influence their conflict management styles. The study concludes that existing practices and strategies of faculty and staff in handling conflict needs enhancement on appropriate and effective conflict management styles. Thus, a possible training program on Conflict Management Styles was developed and proposed for implementation.

“…Det «mogna ögonblicket» (ripe moment) utgör här ett nyckelbegrepp, eller snarare en metafor, som framför allt förknippas med I. William Zartman (se t.ex. Zartman 1989, Zartman 1995, Zartman 2001). 1 Det mogna ögonblicket symboliserar en situation där förutsättningarna för konfliktlösning antas vara särskilt gynnsamma genom att parterna tvivlar på sina möjligheter att vinna konflikten samtidigt som de ser en möjlighet att nå en åtminstone någorlunda tillfredsställande uppgörelse förhandlingsvägen (a way out).…”
