Teaching Room 07, Old College, Edinburgh University Law SchoolDescription
Join us as Dr Miranda Ruwart Melcher presents her new book, Securing Peace in Angola and Mozambique: The Importance of Specificity in Peace Treaties.
This book helps explain how and why there are such diverging outcomes of UN peace negotiations and treaties through a detailed examination of peace processes in the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars. Dr Melcher shows that seemingly small details – such as who wears suits, who has toothbrushes, and how specific words are translated between French and English – can and have delayed peace or contributed to restarting wars.
