Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: International crises are threatening events that demand the attention not just of the parties most directly involved but of actors throughout the international system. Often, parties not directly involved will intervene in a crisis to try to guard against the further escalation, and resultant instability, that tend to characterize such episodes. But questions remain as to when and how such interventions are most likely to be successful in defusing or managing a crisis. In this study, we examine one such mechanism?mediation by a third party?to help determine the factors that facilitate successful crisis management. Specifically, we focus on the issue of the ripeness for resolution in crisis negotiations. Many researchers in the field consider ripeness to be a prerequisite for successful mediation (for discussions of ripeness and mediation see Pruitt 1981; Haass 1990; Rubin 1991; Bercovitch 1997; Salla 1997; Zartman and Touval 1997; Greig 2001; Hancock 2001; Zartman 2001). A more complete understanding of crisis mediation is dependent on an understanding of the impact of mediation in general, as well as the varying effects of different styles of mediation on levels of ripeness within a negotiation. In our previous research, both empirical and experimental, we have examined the effect of mediation on the nature of crisis outcomes and on the duration of crises. This research indicates that one style of mediation does have a significant effect on these factors. Manipulative mediation increases both the likelihood of a peaceful outcome and the pace of reaching such an outcome (Wilkenfeld et al. 2001). This has prompted us to explore the mechanisms that explain the success of manipulative mediation in crises. Toward this goal of determining the relationship between mediation, mediation style, ripeness, and crisis outcomes, we bring together concepts from the all-too-often disconnected realms of negotiation and mediation theory in order to explore one central question: Is the relationship between mediation, especially manipulative mediation, and crisis outcome a result of the ability of mediators to expand the zone of agreement in a negotiation?
