Abstract
This article focuses on challenges to peace mediation in the post-Soviet context by looking at the the case study of the Transdniestrian (TD) settlement process. It offers a brief overview of the OSCE led TD process and aims to explain why the conflict has failed to “respond” to the OSCE (Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe) led mediation efforts. Highlighting key process design shortcomings, the article offers a series of recommendations to practitioners to improve mediation processes in the OSCE context.
期刊介绍:
Security and Human Rights (formerly Helsinki Monitor) is a quarterly journal devoted to issues inspired by the work and principles of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE). It looks at the challenge of building security through cooperation across the northern hemisphere, from Vancouver to Vladivostok, as well as how this experience can be applied to other parts of the world. It aims to stimulate thinking on the question of protecting and promoting human rights in a world faced with serious threats to security.
