dc.description.abstractThis dissertation explores the important contributions that unofficial negotiation processes can and do make to conflict resolution and political transitions. The theories regarding unofficial negotiations are explored in the context of a South African case study and will look at the ways in which the efforts made by members of the private sector during the last five years of apartheid, from September 1985 to February 1990, contributed to the start of official negotiations and a peace agreement, ending decades of racial prejudice and violence. What is so interesting about the South African case study is not only the success of the unofficial negotiation processes, but the specific roles played by members of big business, both as participants and as third-party mediators.en_ZA
