Howard quotes these figures from the Correlates of War dataset. A different dataset reveals that before the 1989 increase in internationally supported power-sharing agreements, that only one of 168 intrastate wars, or less than one per cent, ended in negotiated settlement. In most others, negotiations occurred but failed. A dataset compiled by Michael Doyle and Nicolas Sambanis reveals that after 1989, 38 of 54, or 70 per cent, of civil wars ended by negotiated settlement.
