  • The Power Sharing and Peace Mediation Project - The Power Sharing and Peace Mediation Project investigates the role of mediation in addressing the dilemma arising from power-sharing. On the one hand, power-sharing facilitates agreements in the short term, however, on the other hand, it sometimes complicates peace consolidation and reconciliation in the long term. Mediation plays a crucial role to overcome this dilemma. Therefore, the project seeks to identify strategies that have been used by parties, mediators and supporters to successfully overcome the power-sharing dilemma so as to foster conflict transformation. This project is funded by the United States Institute of Peace (USIP) under the ‘What Makes for Effective Peace Processes’ grant program.
