Abstract

Research has shown that international actors can contribute to resolving violent conflicts. In this article, we focus on conflict prevention, and argue that tools that are relatively non-invasive and rapid to deploy are effective at preventing conflict from escalating. We identify two tools that meet these criteria—rhetorical and diplomatic action, and argue that regional organizations are particularly poised to deploy these tools successfully. Drawing upon new data, we find that rhetorical and diplomatic actions deployed by the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) are generally associated with reductions in violent events as well as fatalities in the following month.

预防冲突的区域方法:修辞和外交工具的有效性

研究表明，国际行动者可以为解决暴力冲突作出贡献。在本文中，我们关注冲突预防，并认为相对非侵入性和快速部署的工具在防止冲突升级方面是有效的。我们确定了符合这些标准的两种工具——修辞和外交行动，并认为区域组织特别准备好成功地部署这些工具。根据新的数据，我们发现西非国家经济共同体(ECOWAS)部署的修辞和外交行动通常与接下来一个月暴力事件和死亡人数的减少有关。
