The Art of Negotiations

The Dayton Peace Accords

The Knowledge Transfer Module examines the Peace Accords both as a case study in the art of negotiations that ended the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina and as a complex political-legal framework. Building on FAMA’s long engagement with the topic (since 1997), the module provides an evidence-based “window” into how the peace agreement was secured. Across its connected editions, Dayton is explored through: (1) a structured chronology of how the negotiations unfolded, from U.S. shuttle diplomacy to the 21 days of proximity talks at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton, Ohio; (2) a “500 Lessons Learned” matrix drawn from key stages of mediation, negotiations and early implementation; and (3) a Dayton@30 assessment that pairs expert perceptions across the Good, the Bad, the Missing, the Lesson and the Result lenses with thirty data indices. Taken together, the three editions provide a structured learning experience that enables users to examine how peace was negotiated, agreed, safeguarded, implemented and operationalised between 1995 and 2025.
