Diplomacy and psychology: Prevention of armed conflicts after the cold war

• Different chapters in this book reviews relevant research in psychology and discusses its ap-plication to the diplomatic peaceful resolution of international conflicts. In an introductory chapter written by an experienced Swedish diplomat and former minister of foreign affairs, who himself has taken part in many international negotiations, the most important problems facing preventive diplomacy are identified. After the first part of the book with several chap-ters providing general perspectives on diplomacy and psychology including a detailed account of the contributions by the former secretary general Dag Hammarskjöld, these problems are treated in the remaining three parts of the book: Identifying precursors that would make pos-sible to forecast and prevent social conflicts, planning and conducting effective negotiation and mediation, and post-conflict reconciliation and adherance to agreements
