Making Peace Prevail - Preventing Violent Conflict in Macedonia

With this book, Alice Ackermann furthers our understanding of the challenge in conflict prevention on multiethnic and newly democratized societies. She provides a framework of analysis that underscores the "art of conflict prevention". She highlights the activity of the major players such as the United Nation and the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) but maintains that groups such as the Working Group of the International Conference on the former Yugoslavia -- although not in the public eye -- accomplished much through an "interactive workshop" approach to conflict management.

Summary

This volume offers an in-depth account of how Macedonia held onto peace during the violent breakup of Yugoslavia in the 1990s. Faced with ethnic tensions and the threat of the Bosnian war, this republic was spared the fate of Croatia and Bosnia because of successful preventive diplomacy.
