Psychology in PeacemakingA Guide for Mediators and Negotiators
In an era of shifting geopolitics, fragmented conflicts, and fast-track peace deals, the human dimension of peacemaking is too often overlooked. At the heart of any negotiation lies the human factor: a complex interplay of emotions, trust, trauma, and other psychological elements. Drawing on over 40 interviews with negotiators, mediators, and psychologists, this guide offers practical strategies and psychological insights to support those involved in peace processes, bridging the gap between psychological understanding and peacemaking. Designed as a hands-on toolbox, the guide provides adaptable tools to help negotiators and mediators navigate the emotional and relational complexities of peacemaking, from managing trauma and difficult personalities to fostering trust, mindset transformation, and rehumanisation.
