Despite their seeming commitment to collaborative work, differing interests and vision, rules and procedures of distinct organizations could lead to demonstrative rather than actual cooperative efforts. The work aims to study cooperation structures, principles, norms and practices among the United Nations, regional intergovernmental (e.g. EU, OSCE, AU, ECOWAS, IGAD), non-governmental (e.g. International Crisis Group, International Alert) and, in some cases, local civil society organizations, which are engaged into early warning and response to violent conflicts. Relying on the existing approaches to inter-organizational cooperation in both international relations and political sociology, discourse analysis will be applied in order to pursue deeper understanding of the relationship and political communication among actors as well as underlying causes of their behavior.
