Abstract
What explains which crises experience third-party mediation? International mediation varies greatly from crisis to crisis, and this variation determines if mediation occurs, when it occurs, and who mediates. This chapter examines the characteristics of third-party mediators and their decision to mediate a crisis. The authors discuss mediation supply in crises, the various affiliations of mediators, and their different incentives to mediate. Finally, they present trends in mediation across international crises that help us understand when mediation occurs and why.
