A better understanding of process design is essential to mitigate the risk of negotiation fatigue amongst constituencies and to carry a peace process even in times of little or no progress until a positive and sustainable agreement has been reached.

The author then presents options for preventing this dynamic from the outset, through the way in which the process is structured.
