Abstract

Conflict through its varied manifestations frequently challenges the international community to find suitable strategies for intervention. The complexities range from understanding root causes to managing the dynamics of peace processes. In selecting a recent and innovative example, this chapter examines the impact of third-party facilitation in the protracted low-intensity conflict in the Province of Aceh, Indonesia. Positioned within a theoretical framework of third-party intervention, are some of the main findings from field evaluations by the Post-war Reconstruction and Development Unit (PRDU) and from a separate independent review. From this analysis, the authors draw comparative lessons from the process of joint dialogue in Aceh as facilitated by the Geneva-based Centre for Humanitarian Dialogue (HDC)....
