This book is an adaptation of a PhD thesis researched at the Department of International Relations of the London School of Economics and Political Science under the supervision of Dr Mathias Koenig-Archibugi, to whom I am indebted for his constant support throughout this research and his invaluable feedback earlier drafts of my work. I am also grateful to many other members of the academic community who provided substantial feedback on sections of this work: Gary Goertz, Mark Hoffman, Chris Alden, Martin Binder, Nicola Chelotti, Timothy Cole, Charles Ragin, Razeen Sally, Stephen Woolcock, and two anonymous reviewers. Many more colleagues, academics or friends have provided useful criticisms and advice on my work over these years. These include Maria Bakke Orvik, Mark Beissinger, Jacob Bercovitch, Mathijs Bogaards, David Cunningham, Sebastian Jckle, Cas Mudde, Andreas Schedler, the participants at the International Relations working group at the 2007 Methodological Paradigms for a New Research Agenda organized by Graduate Network/European University Institute in Florence, Italy; the participants at workshop no. 17 at the 2008 ECPR Joint Sessions; the panellists and participants at panel 1218 at the 2008 APSA Annual Meeting; and the panellists and participants at panel J-4 at the 2009 NPSA Annual Meeting; and my colleagues of the 2010 class of the PhD programme at the Department of International Relations. Obviously I am the only one responsible for any mistake. I would also like to acknowledge the generous support of the LSE Department of International Relations, the University of Bologna and the Thomas More Institute in London, whose scholarships allowed me to pursue postgraduate studies.

Large sections of Chapters 2 and 3 were published under the title Time to Agree: Is Time Pressure Good for Peace Negotiations? in Journal of Conflict Resolution 55 (5), 2011: 683709. I am grateful to Sage Publications for permission to republish this material in adapted form. I am also thankful to Conciliation Resources for allowing the publication of maps and graphs from the Accord issue 12 (2002) on Bougainville.
