Abstract
A more comprehensive, that is, an inclusive definition with a broad or wide mental grasp (Merriam-Webster 2013) in understanding non-violent and non-coercive interventions such as mediation requires a more systematic analysis of possible outcomes. As Mark Anstey (2006) claims, achieving a peace agreement is difficult, but it is no easier than implementing them. Adebajo (2006) suggests agreements should be detailed and inclusive. Agreements should address the root causes of conflicts, ensure parties are representative and are trustworthy. They should have a win-win element to optimize prospects of success. They should build on continuous dispute resolution systems to overcome problems of implementation, and be scheduled with deadlines and accountabilities for delivery.
