Outline of Final Research Achievements

This project investigated the mechanism through which ceasefires are maintained, with special attention to third-party involvement and using multiple methods such as formal modeling, quantitative analysis, and case studies. The main findings of the research are such that resource transfer during war destabilizes post-war peace and that third parties can promote post-war peace by managing adversaries’ resource use during ceasefire through foreign aids. One empirical paper was published in a peer-reviewed journal (with open access) and two more papers have been presented in domestic and international conferences and prepared for journal submissions.
