Do boycotts work? Should arms sales be stopped? What about supplying weapons to the good guys? In How Wars End an international expert explains how we can act to bring about peace in an age of escalating war.In 2003 Jan van Aken almost helped stop a war. But as he was preparing to go to Baghdad to search for biological weapons, he got a message: the US was determined to avenge 9/11 and wouldn't wait for UN inspections to take place. The invasion went ahead, and only years later, the world discovered that Iraq had had no biological weapons at that time.From this experience and the many others he has had as a weapons inspector, conflict analyst and activist, in How Wars End van Aken shows how conflict resolution really works. From disinformation and dodgy dossiers to chemical weapons and murderous drones, he identifies why wars start and spiral. And he looks at the alternatives, including civil initiatives, diplomacy, sanctions, and international interventions.Interweaving the latest findings from peace research with stories and examples from Northern Ireland, Serbia, South Sudan, Afghanistan, Syria, Ukraine, Israel-Palestine and more, How Wars End lays out evidence-based strategies for moving from violent conflict to ceasefire, and from ceasefire to lasting peace.Translated by Jo Heinrich.

Kriege und Konflikte erschüttern die Welt. Doch wie steht es um die Chance auf Frieden? Als Konfliktforscher und ehemaliger UN-Waffeninspekteur ist Jan van Aken ausgewiesener Kenner der Materie. Er fragt: Was können wir aus früheren Kriegen und Konflikten lernen, welche Dynamiken und Werkzeuge sind notwendig, damit verfeindete Akteure miteinander sprechen und friedliche Lösungen möglich werden? Jan van Aken verwebt gekonnt neueste Erkenntnisse der Friedensforschung mit Geschichten und Beispielen aus dem wirklichen Leben, um die unterschiedlichsten Mittel und Wege einer friedlichen Konfliktlösung aufzuzeigen. Der Parteivorsitzende der Linken beschreibt, wie Sanktionen funktionieren könnten, dass Krisenprävention möglich ist und welche Rolle die Weltgemeinschaft oder auch die Naturwissenschaften spielen könnten. Ein spannender, kenntnisreicher und persönlich verbriefter Blick hinter die Kulissen diplomatischer Friedensfindungsprozesse sowie eine Mut machende Erinnerung daran, dass eine Chance auf Frieden immer besteht.»Es gibt keine einfachen Antworten auf schwierige Situationen. Doch Jan van Aken zeigt eindrucksvoll, dass wir auf Erfahrungen aus der Geschichte zurückgreifen können, um für eine friedlichere Zukunft zu sorgen.« Gregor Gysi»Bomben schaffen keinen Frieden. Jan van Aken hat viele Argumente und erfolgreiche Fallbeispiele für alternative Wege in Kriegen. Inspirierend und wichtig in diesen Zeiten!« Kristina Lunz»Ein kluges und wunderbar geschriebenes Buch, ein nachdrücklicher Appell für Friedenslösungen, die nicht auf militärische Stärke, sondern Verständigung gründen. Jan van Aken macht Mut und liefert einen Lichtblick in dunklen Zeiten.« Thomas Gebauer, Mitbegründer der »Internationalen Kampagne zum Verbot von Landminen«, Friedensnobelpreis 1997
