Product Description
Product Description
Assesses the three failed peacemaking attempts during the Falklands crisis of 1982. The author examines the reasons for the failures in negotiations and offers several case studies in negotiating and third party mediation of international conflict. Using the Falklands crisis as an example, he examines the unique political context of the territorial crisis; what the Third World insists is the ongoing process of "decolonization," the global spread of sophisticated military technologies and the world arms bazaar. These changes in turn have led to new norms and new means of establishing territory and sovereignty, according to Kinney. He offers a study of British representational democracy, politics, defense, world view, Argentine history and politics as well as the lack of political and diplomatic imagination of both parties at the source of the conflict.
