| Introduction :
Country: Jordan Description of the Assignment: The changing nature and scope of conflicts in the region driven by multifaceted economic, political, and societal root causes, call for creative and flexible approaches to conflict resolution that broaden processes of societal change required to make peace last beyond formal peace processes. Whether as a result of conflict relapse, the uptick in violence and conflict, or the failure of sustained and well-resourced efforts, there is a growing recognition that the international response to interstate conflict – and the mediation blueprint that underpins it - may not be ‘fit for purpose’. The conflicts underway in the Arab States region are a good case in point. Conflict drivers in the region require conflict prevention and mediation capacities at different levels, in diverse sectors, over sustained periods of time and amongst different groups. This has created more innovative opportunities for well-placed intermediaries, understood here as Insider Mediators (IMs), to play an increasingly critical role in forging consensus for crucial reforms, and creating much-needed spaces for dialogue, while changing the attitudes and behaviours that promote violence.
