TY - JOUR PY - 1997// TI - Armed Conflicts, Conflict Termination and Peace Agreements, 1989-96 JO - Journal of peace research A1 - Wallensteen, P. A1 - Sollenberg, Margareta SP - 339 EP - 358 VL - 34 IS - 3 N2 - A total of 101 armed conflicts have been recorded for the eight post-Cold War years 1989-96. Only six were interstate conflicts. In 1996 there were two such conflicts. For most regions there was a decline in the number of conflicts, with the exception of Africa. Nineteen peace agreements were in place by the end of 1996, historically a high number. Most of these agreements were concluded over conflicts in Africa. Asia and the Middle East showed the lowest propensity to terminate conflicts.
