摘要：Conflict prevention has risen to prominence on the agendas of governments andinternational organisations in the post-Cold War period. This can be primarilyattributed to the opportunities for international cooperation brought about by the endof the Cold War, the potential instability inherent in the forging of new states, and thecontinuing prevalence of inter and intra-state conflict.
