Supporting<br />
peace<br />
processes<br />
on various<br />
tracks<br />
With the end <strong>of</strong> the Cold War, the attention<br />
<strong>of</strong> <strong>conflict</strong> <strong>transformation</strong> research and<br />
practice shifted to civil <strong>conflict</strong>s — and with<br />
it our strategic focus. Starting in Sri Lanka,<br />
we have spent the last 20 <strong>years</strong> providing<br />
mediation and negotiation support in various<br />
peace processes — whether supporting<br />
the <strong>of</strong>ficial process, building negotiation<br />
capacities <strong>of</strong> <strong>conflict</strong> parties, strengthening<br />
insider mediators, or <strong>of</strong>fering policy advice<br />
and training to mediation teams. Our work has<br />
also contributed to the advancement <strong>of</strong> new<br />
mediation concepts and approaches.<br />
