Mediation Reports/Studies

The aim of the mediation reports is to support mediators and negotiators in gaining knowledge and skills for effective peace negotiations and conflict transformation. They are produced by the Mediation Support Project (MSP), which is a joint endeavor of the CSS and swisspeace, and the Culture and Religion in Mediation (CARIM) program. MSP publications focus on mediation in track 1 peace processes. CARIM publications focus on how to deal with the cultural and religious dimensions of conflict and mediation.
