Desconstructing mediation: a post-structuralist analysis of the Mali conflict

This work had as its main objective to understand how the mediation process occurred in the Malian conflict, which started in the year 2012 and continues until today, and also aimed to analyze the actors involved in the mediation and study the history of the conflict. The study promoted a greater perception regarding the Malian conflict and what decisions were made in order to solve it, providing the reader with more knowledge about the explored topic. To achieve the research objectives, the post-structuralist theory was used as a foundation, based on the studies of Walker, Ashley, and Foucault, as well as several scientific articles that will help in the understanding, not only about post-structuralism, but also about international mediation and its importance for the current international political scenario. Qualitative and objective methods and primary and secondary sources were used in order to enhance the content of the research.
