This article examines the intervention behavior of small- or medium-sized neighbor countries in civil war peace negotiations by examining Thailand in the Cambodian peace process and Chad in the negotiations over Darfur, Sudan. The motivations lying behind these neighbors’ initial interventions were their concerns over two issues: the spillover effect of the external conflicts and their limited leverage over the conflicts and peace processes. While both countries changed their intervention strategies, aiming to play more constructive roles, the consequences of the changed strategies were significantly limited by how their new diplomatic strategies were supported and utilized by external mediators.

“邻国”介入内战和平谈判

本文通过考察柬埔寨和平进程中的泰国和苏丹达尔富尔谈判中的乍得，考察中小邻国在内战和平谈判中的干预行为。这些邻国最初干预背后的动机是他们对两个问题的担忧：外部冲突的溢出效应以及他们对冲突与和平进程的有限影响力。虽然两国都改变了干预战略，旨在发挥更具建设性的作用，但改变战略的后果受到外部调解人如何支持和利用其新外交战略的显着限制。
