Composition of the Mediating Coalition Sample Clauses

Composition of the Mediating Coalition. According to a study by Xxxxxxxxx (2008), mediation conducted si- multaneously by official diplomats and private facilitators are most li- kely when their efforts are characterized by high levels of communica- tion, coordination, collaboration and integration. For Xxxxxxx (2011) these four factors could be best observed in coalitions composed of democratic states. Democratic peace literature argues that one of the most important norms of democracies is the peaceful resolution of con- flicts (Xxxxx 1994, Xxxxxxxxxx and Xxxxxx 2000, Xxxxxxxx 2002). Xxxxx (1994) already showed that democratic opponents are more likely to re- ach a peaceful settlement because their systems are based on norms that promote compromise and non-violence. At the same time, democratic features such as transparency and inclusivity decrease the level of uncer- tainty and facilitate communication. In multiparty coalitions composed of democracies this helps mediators to overcome collective action pro- blems and consequently promotes cooperative interactions (Xxxxxxx 2011, 112). The same argument can be applied to concept of coordi- nation because coordination is also best achieved through predicable procedures that reflect those present in democratic societies. However, despite expectations that democracies are best suited for multiparty me- diation, according to Xxxxxxx chances for effective conflict resolution are not driven by regime type (2011, 127). In fact, as experience shows, on numerous occasions multiparty mediation was successful even when it was conducted by a coalition composed of democratic and non-de- mocratic states. Since the diversity of regimes in the coalition was not an obstacle to achieve success, the composition should be observed from the angle of previous relationships between mediators. For instance, patterns of predictable behavior that are instrumental for a more cooperative and coordinated effort between mediators can develop through a series of repeated mediation interactions. As it was previously stated, while it is useful for a coalition to be composed of actors that have compatible interests, the “team of rivals” hypothesis (Xxxxxxx and Xxxxxxx 2012) illustrates that successful mediation is also possible even if mediators have competing interests. The crucial challenge is to have “negotiating teams that are not necessarily comprised of likeminded, ideological soul mates but are ‘teams of rivals’ who develop mutual respect and a common understanding that t...
