ABSTRACT
This chapter examines the correspondence between the theory and the case study to see if there is evidence to illustrate, support, or contradict the hypotheses. In the theoretical discussions of, hypotheses were developed concerning conditions for the successful mediation of civil wars. These first hypotheses were divided into three groups: characteristcs of the parties, the conflict, and the mediators. The hypothesis in the characteristics of the parties category states the more clearly identifiable and inwardly cohesive the parties are, the better the chances of success of the mediation of civil wars. In the nature and characteristics of the conflict category of essential conditions for the success of mediation, one of the hypotheses suggested was: the longer the duration, but the lower the intensity of the conflict, the higher the chances of success of mediating a civil war.
