Abstract
The Arias Peace Plan was able to further the process of peace in Central America in part because it was an ad hoc multilateral process composed of countries of the Central American region, thus representing a bridge from the region's tradition of unilateral intervention by the United States to the more recent experience of involvement by formal multilateral agencies such as the United Nations and the Organization of American States. The plan's success derived also from the fact that in each of the phases of the process—conceptualization, negotiation, and implementation‐Costa Rican president Oscar Arias and his team recognized and capitalized upon changing global and regional environments that were increasingly conducive to conflict resolution.
