The handbook provides practical advice on how to broker peace in countries emerging from deep-rooted conflict and outlines options negotiators can draw upon when trying to build or rebuild democracy. The handbook provides a thorough overview of democratic levers - such as power-sharing formulas, questions of federalism and autonomy, options for minority rights, constitutional safeguards and many others. It analyses actual negotiated settlements from places like Bosnia, Fiji, Northern Ireland, Guatemala, Sri Lanka, Papua New Guinea and South Africa. Written by international experts and experienced negotiators, the handbook is designed as a quick reference tool containing numerous case studies, fact sheets and practical examples
"This handbook…constitutes an invaluable addition to the literature on conflict prevention, management and resolution….It proposes an array of practical resources for those of us engaged in the search for comprehensive and lasting settlements in specific conflicts."
– Kofi A. Annan, Secretary-General, United Nations
