The author, a Swedish diplomat with extensive experience in peace‐keeping initiatives of the United Nations, focuses on two questions that are prominent in the management of intractable international conflict: (1) the interplay between short‐term and long‐term interventions; and (2) the growing “tools” that are available to mediators and other peacemakers, and how to judge their effectiveness. This brief essay is an adaptation of the autor's informal remarks at the March, 2002 Hewlett Centers meeting in New York City.
