[5] “In order to understand others’ behavior, and in order to behave in a manner such that we can influence others, we must try to understand the world as they do” (Craig, 2007, p. 1).
“[I]t is no wonder that postconflict peacebuilding efforts too frequently fail and wars reerupt because peace settlements and peacebuilding policies play with emotional fire that practitioners scarcely understand but nevertheless seek to manipulate“ (Crawford, 2000, p. 116).
“Thucydides found that people go to war out of ‘honor, fear, and interest’ […]. If we take honor to mean fame, glory, renown, or splendor, it may appear applicable only to an earlier time. If, however, we understand its significance as […] regard, respect, or prestige we will find it an important motive of nations in the modern world” (Kagan, 1996, p. 8).
“Mianzi is very important among Chinese people and within the relational Chinese society. It concerns not only one’s social status in a relational society but also the possibility of being accepted by others and even the privileges one is entitled to in the social process of interaction” (Qin Yaqing, 2011, p. 52).

[6] I would like to express my sincere gratitude to my first supervisor, Prof. Dr. Michael Staack, for his continuous support throughout the entire research process. I also would like to thank my second supervisor, Prof. Dr. Sven Gareis, for his highly appreciated input and extensive feedback. Moreover, I am especially grateful to those people who have always encouraged me ‘to keep calm, and carry on’ with the project and to overcome each hurdle on this stony path, particularly my parents, Hildegard and Manfred, my brother, Marc, and my girlfriend, Louisa. This book could not have been completed without their invaluable help and support.
