A c k n o w l e d g m e n t s I want to express my gratitude to all my colleagues who supported me in this endeavor and to my two reviewers who helped shape the book. The research presented in this volume was supported at various stages by the Frederic Ebert Foundation, George Eckert Institute for International Textbooks Research, Spenser Foundation, and the United States Institute of Peace. The volume could not have been completed without the support of Andrea Bartoli and Kevin Avruch, deans of my home institution, the School of Conflict Analysis and Resolution, George Mason University. I offer special thanks to Sarah Nathan and Scarlet Neath, the editors of Palgrave Macmillan, for their support, professionalism, and efficiency at various stages of this work. I am also very thankful to my family for their interest in my work and support.
