Summary/Abstract |
This article reviews the explanations of the three major schools of international relations theory for the variation in success witnessed by third parties in the disarmament of civil warring factions. It concludes that, although rational theories like Neorealism and Neoliberalism have highlighted important aspects of the dynamics between the roles of third parties and disarmament, they provide only a partial analysis and must therefore be assimilated into a Constructivist framework.
