This work is the result of the monitoring of five peace processes (Israel/Palestine, South Africa, Basque Country, Sri Lanka and Northern Ireland) for more than two years. The project was conducted by academic partners in the five areas. Based on interviews with key players in all five peace processes, it identifies those factors which facilitate or block political movement in deeply divided societies. It highlights issues of negotiation and constitutional change, political violence, economics, external influences, public opinion and symbolism, and challenges a number of accepted notions about peace processes.

The collection is organized around five main themes: planning for peace during periods of violence the process of negotiations (including pre negotiation) the effects of violence on peace processes peace accords constitutional and political options and securing the settlement and building the peace.
