In the section on page 248, the variable name was incorrectly stated.
The correct variable name should be:
Conflict duration and battle deaths may also increase the likelihood of negotiations but may contribute to prolonged negotiations processes as protracted and brutal wars leave deeper wounds that require more time for parties to heal.

Results section on pages 251-253 need to be revised since the interpretation of the logit stage of zero-inflated negative binomial model is incorrect. Conflict duration and cold war are positively correlated with negotiation non-occurrence, while peacekeeping (lag), rebel territorial control, battle deaths (log), and number of negotiations (lag) are negatively correlated with negotiation non-occurrence. In other words, conflict duration and cold war should be interpreted as reducing the likelihood of negotiation onset, while peacekeeping (lag), rebel territorial control, battle deaths (log), and number of negotiations (lag) should be interpreted as increasing the likelihood of negotiation onset.

Table 3 in page 252 needs to be revised since the results for negotiation onset have been interpreted incorrectly. Variables in the + column of the negotiation onset row should be on the - column of negotiation onset row, and variables in the - column of the negotiation onset row should be in the + column of the negotiation onset row.

In Tables 2, 4, A1, and A2, all the standard errors are shown as negative numbers, instead of positive values shown in a parenthesis.

In Tables 4 and A1, the beta coefficient value of Mediation by UN (lag) variable under Mediation Effect should be -0.342, not -342.
