Guiora on Negotiating Implementation of Peace Agreements

By Lawrence Solum

Amos N. Guiora (University of Utah - S.J. Quinney College of Law) has posted Negotiating Implementation of a Peace Agreement: Lessons Learned from Five Years at the Negotiating Table (Cardozo J. Conflict Resol., Vol. 11, 2010) on SSRN. Here is the abstract:
