In a world of uncertainty, instability and continuous conflict, mediation is a powerful peacekeeping tool that has the ability to save thousands of lives and prevent costly wars. For these reasons, the study of international mediation and the ideas presented in this book should be considered important to neoliberal institutions and the international community. International mediation in a fragile world closely examines the power of mediation as a useful conflict-prevention tool by answering the central questions of who, when, how and why international mediation should occur. The answers to these questions are far more complex than at first glance, and International mediation in a fragile world does an excellent job of exploring how challenging international mediation and peacekeeping can be. The purpose of this book review is to explore the key elements expressed in this book by providing information on the editors’ intent, summarizing the chapters and describing important takeaways discussed in the text.
