Colloquium: Ceasefire Negotiations: Shooting for Peace with Anthony Wanis-St. John, PhD – a Africa interest event taking place on 2018-11-05 17:30:00 in United States
Location: Campus Center, 3rd Floor, Room 3540
In every civil war, mediators attempt to negotiate ceasefires to stop the killing. More often than not, these efforts fail. Anthony Wanis-St. John’s research looks at why this happens, and what is needed for success. He also analyzes the fragility of ceasefire negotiations and argues that their success is ultimately linked to progress on a comprehensive peace deal.
Anthony Wanis-St. John is an Associate Professor at American University’s School of International Service. He’s the author of Back Channel Negotiation: Secrecy in Middle East Peacemaking (Syracuse University Press, January 2011), and with Noah Rosen, the coauthor of “Negotiating Civil Resistance,” Peaceworks Vol. 129 (2018), USIP Press. He directed the M.A. in International Peace and Conflict Resolution from 2013 to 2016. His research, practice and teaching focus on negotiations in zones of conflict; including peace processes, ceasefires and civil society engagement. His practical experience includes Europe, the Middle East, Africa, the Caribbean and Latin America. He supports the Department of Defense and USIP in the preparation of military and civilian advisors deploying to Afghanistan.
