Summary: Summary: “Using strategic narrative and case-study analysis, this research examined in depth 13 historical cases of insurgency that have been settled through negotiation and ended with a mixed outcome (that is, neither side completely won or completely lost).

Using the factors detailed in the 13 case studies, we sought to identify commonalities in the progress toward a negotiated settlement…”—(page summary).
