Intervention Conflict Resolution & Transformation Research Proposal

Furthermore, it is the balance between the needs and requirements for peace and the application of intervention methods and techniques that will be critical focal point of this evaluation. This also refers to various studies that discuss the limitations of various conflict resolution attempts.
