“…In practice, coordination is only possible if mediators agree to share sensitive information, work together to assess the ongoing situation and consequently develop joint strategies for peacemaking (Nan and Strimling, ). First of all, coordination is upheld through a continuous exchange of information about each mediator's intentions, actions and resources.…”

The field of international peace mediation has become increasingly complex. Proliferation of actors that are able and willing to mediate has made multiparty mediation a standard format through which conflicts get managed. Due to their ad hoc nature, multiparty mediation efforts require specific mechanisms that will provide sufficient clarity and direction for the mediators involved. This paper departs by differentiating three distinct, yet highly interrelated, fundamental aspects that contribute to the overall success in multiparty mediation: cooperation, coordination and leadership. Treating coordination as a subset element of wider cooperation, this paper addresses the main challenges of achieving effective coordination in a given context. The paper highlights the relevance of information carrying capacity and premediated appointment of a leader when developing particular coordination mechanisms.

“…The cooperation and coordination spectrum, conceptualized by Nan and Strimling [19], outlines the different degrees of coordination as in Table 2. The coordination process has four overall levels of intensity process (communication, coexistence, coordinated action, or integrated action).…”

“…Once the mechanism of coordination process are understood and the roles that each party will play are clearly decided, it is necessary to establish the objectives of coordination process. Therefore, the objectives do not overlap or contradict, however, develop consolidated objectives, or integrated objectives [6,19].…”

Abstract. Construction industry is recognized as high fragmentation, low efficiency, cost and time overruns in contrast with other industries. These peculiarities are the main roots of poor performance facing by the industry. Effective coordination is vital in construction projects success and mitigate the fragmentation dilemma, however it is often difficult to achieve and need iterative process. Coordination is core issue to improve performance in construction project. Relevant studies have addressed the coordination process importance and implementation, but not in a framework. This paper propose a framework for coordination process in construction projects, as well as its relationship with performance. The objective of the framework is to provide a roadmap for the construction parties to realize operational excellence so that collectively stakeholders can recognize the effect of coordination process application on the project performance. The data were obtained from literature review and structured interviews with five experts. The analysis produced the framework of coordination based on the extensively used procedures for information and data flow between stakeholders.

“…A number of studies explicitly assess the impact of conflict resolution workshops on Track One peace negotiations. This debate is examined in the conflict resolution literature under the terms “transfer” (Fisher ), “dissemination” (Cuhadar and Dayton ), or “coordination” (Nan and Strimling ). Ronald Fisher () wrote that these workshops helped prepare the ground for negotiations and develop new ideas.…”

Civil Society and Peace Negotiations: Beyond the Inclusion–Exclusion Dichotomy

Civil society is generally seen as an important actor in peace processes. But when it comes to reaching an agreement during peace negotiations, much of the current debate is centered on the question of including or excluding civil society. Although most researchers argue that civil society participation makes the process more sustainable and democratic, most practitioners emphasize that enhanced civil society participation makes it more difficult to reach a peace agreement. I argue that practitioners and theorists must both move beyond this dichotomy and, instead, focus on the variety of ways in which civil society actors can be included in a given negotiation process. To this end, I present in this article a comprehensive overview of nine models of inclusion, from most to least direct involvement of civil society, supported by illustrative case studies. Analysis of these models suggests that it will be possible to broaden the participation of civil society in peace negotiations without decreasing the negotiations' effectiveness.
