After summarizing the theoretical arguments and findings of this book, we discuss key lessons learned from our study. The international environment has a significant influence on civil war development and prevention. Amplifying their conflict-preventing influence on member-states, highly structured intergovernmental organizations (IGOs) often coordinate their activities, especially in the area of political violence and state fragility. We then identify a number of tangible, economic incentives as the main pathways of this influence. Overall, this book suggests that the economic benefits of peace provide a potent temptation—for both governments and rebels—to settle low-level armed conflict before it can escalate to full-scale civil war. With these lessons learned, we also identify suggestions for both the research into and practice of conflict management. The chapter closes by pointing to opportunities for making use of our findings to further capitalize on the role of highly structured IGOs in civil war prevention.

Statistical Development

Adoption of development agendas at different levels – national, regional, continental, and global level – has led to an unprecedented increase in demand for official statistics. This increase has not only brought to the fore a litany of challenges facing National Statistical Systems (NSSs) in Africa but also it has created opportunities for strengthening statistical production and development. This paper underscores the need for countries to take full advantage of these opportunities and increase investments in statistics, undertake data innovation, and expand and diversify data ecosystems, leveraging on the foundations of the data revolution for sustainable development and in line with current international statistical frameworks. The paper posits that these improvements will not happen coincidentally nor through ad hoc, piecemeal and uncoordinated approaches. Rather they will happen through more systematic, coordinated and multi-sectoral approaches to statistical development. The National Strategy for the Development of Statistics (NSDS) is presented as a comprehensive and robust framework for building statistical capacity and turning around NSSs in African countries. The paper unpacks the NSDS; elaborates the NSDS processes including; mainstreaming sectors into the NSDS, the stages of the NSDS lifecycle and the role of leadership in the NSDS proces; highlights NSDS extension; presents the design and implementation challenges, and the key lessons learned from the NSDS processes in Africa in the last 15 years or so.

Background: Use of hotline services for clinical support and safe operation of a research trial is common and important. The value of such services has not been objectively assessed within the context of a large acute stroke clinical trial. Methods: The use of three different hotline services have been tested, and cell and Email- options have also been explored for their advantages. US and Non-US sites are provided access to central hotline services, but for efficiency a local network for managing calls is established in each region. All sites may access both data management and the trial PI via hotline services when needed and this is supported by other technologies in addition. A means for supporting overall trial communications in light of these interactions has been developed and valuable insights are gained. Results: Data gathered from 211 calls logged at the Clinical Coordinating Center through the course of the ATACH-II trial have been summarized: Total Calls Reviewed: 211; Year 2 of trial: 92 calls, Year 3 of trial: 100 calls. Calls received midnight to 8 AM: 19 (9.0%), 8 AM - 5 PM 130 (61.6 %) 5 PM - 12:00 PM 65 (30.8%). Issues Resolved in < 5 min 143/211 (67.8%) Taking > 30 min to resolution 51/211 (24.2%). Purpose of calls: Eligibility 89 (42.2%). protocol compliance including drug management: 77 (36.5%%), randomization/emergency randomization: 16 (7.6%), protocol deviation:13 (6.2%), technological difficulties: 12 (5.7%), AE/SAE: 9 (4.3%), Subject enrollments directly associated with calls: 57 (20.8% of domestic subjects); excluded candidates directly associated with calls: 46 (% not available). Conclusions: In an international trial requiring rapid enrollment of subjects with intracerebral hemorrhage, the role of direct support via a hotline and other immediate communications means has proven to be instrumental in maintaining good protocol compliance and supporting enrollment by site team members .

Diplomacy: A Very Short Introduction introduces the subject of diplomatic history, the critical study of the management of relations between nation-states. Based on significant historical case studies—the diplomacy of the American Revolution, the diplomatic origins of the Great War and its aftermath Versailles, the personal summitry behind the night Stalin and Churchill divided Europe, George W. Bush and the coming of the Iraq War, and diplomacy in the age of globalization—there are concrete examples of diplomacy in action while locating the universal role of negotiations. Through these examples we can see what the key element of success is. The lessons learned provide a road map to navigating the challenges of 21st-century diplomacy.
