The analysis suggests that in addition to the traditional categories of liberal and pragmatic strategies, the peace mediation profession has developed a third, context-driven ‘social’ approach to inclusion based on the concept of inclusive peace process design. Encapsulated in the UN Guidance for Effective Mediation as a fundamental principle of peace mediation, inclusivity mandates engagement with a broad range of local actors and local socio-economic issues to increase the social legitimacy of the peace process without normative restrictions on inclusion of actors or the negotiating agenda. As such it helps to avoid the traditional distinction between ‘political’ and ‘criminal’ acts and methods which places restraints on inclusion in peace mediation.","PeriodicalId":179616,"journal":{"name":"Rethinking Peace Mediation","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132007768","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In fact, peace mediation, from mediation in the early modern period to contemporary efforts to resolve armed conflicts, has always been governed by certain norms, whereas presumably universal rules, such as the neutrality and impartiality of a mediator, have never existed as absolutes and have always been qualified in some way. The chapter discusses the reasons behind the apparent need to articulate such a framework and the effects on the practice of peace negotiations.","PeriodicalId":179616,"journal":{"name":"Rethinking Peace Mediation","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132136805","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It outlines the notion of epistemic communities and the reproduction of value systems, asking whether any form of emulation influences the evolution of international law in relation to transitional governance (‘TG’). The re-occurrence of TG can be attributed phenomena such as the ‘migration of constitutional ideas’, ‘constitutional borrowing’, ‘transnational information networks’, acculturation in contact groups, and the use of templates for peace building. The community of practitioners engaged in post-war countries and constitution building is relatively small. As a result, the epistemic community dealing with these issues creates a habitat favourable to the reproduction of professional practices by emulation. The question then becomes whether such reproduction is jurisgenerative, namely whether it expresses emerging law through custom creation or otherwise.","PeriodicalId":179616,"journal":{"name":"Rethinking Peace Mediation","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133661661","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Seeking to address the apparent invisibility of women in the field of mediation, several new Networks have been created with the aim of increasing the representation of women in high-level mediation and the visibility of women mediators at all levels. These Networks have been created as Foreign Policy tools, pursuant to commitments made in National Action Plans on UNSCR 1325. Given the relative infancy of the Networks and the absence of much scholarly scrutiny of their creation, the chapter provides an overview of the creation, aims and objectives of the Networks, and identifies some conceptual and practical challenges that the Networks must navigate if they are to be successful in increasing the representation of women in the peace mediation field.","PeriodicalId":179616,"journal":{"name":"Rethinking Peace Mediation","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117332854","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
