The book starts from the observation that the EU has emerged as an important international provider of mediation in various conflicts around the world. Against this background, the author develops an analytical framework to investigate EU mediation effectiveness that is then applied to the three cases. The main finding of the book is that EU mediation has a stabilising effect on conflict dynamics, making renewed escalation less likely and contributing to the settlement of conflict issues. At the same time, the EU?s effectiveness depends primarily on its ability to influence the conflict parties? willingness to compromise through conditionality and diplomatic pressure. Julian Bergmann is a researcher at the German Development Institute (Deutsches Institut für Entwicklungspolitik, DIE), Germany. His research focusses on EU policy (foreign, development, security), international mediation, and the security-development nexus. 410 0$aPalgrave Studies in European Union Politics,$x2662-5873 606 $aEuropean Union 606 $aDiplomacy 606 $aInternational relations 606 $aPeace 606 $aEuropean Union Politics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911140 606 $aDiplomacy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/912020 606 $aForeign Policy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/912040 606 $aConflict Studies$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/912060 615 0$aEuropean Union. 615 0$aDiplomacy. 615 0$aInternational relations. 615 0$aPeace. 615 14$aEuropean Union Politics. 615 24$aDiplomacy. 615 24$aForeign Policy. 615 24$aConflict Studies. 676 $a341.2422 676 $a347.2409 700 $aBergmann$b Julian$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0995405 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910369919803321 996 $aThe European Union as International Mediator$92280501 997 $aUNINA
