The Tajik peace process that led to the peace agreement in 1997 represents a relatively unknown but noteworthy case of successful international peacemaking in the post-cold war era. The reasons for the success, among others, were close cooperation and effective coordination on the part of a wide variety of external actors involved, as well as the resulting complementarity among their various roles. This article begins with an analysis of how interested parties, including Russia and Iran, the UN, the OSCE, the CIS and the unofficial dialogue succeeded in developing cooperation among them, based on shared interests and commitments. The article then focuses on the role of the UN as a lead coordinator in promoting such cooperation. The last part of the article discusses what complementarity effects were brought to the peace process as a result of cooperation and coordination, as well as what potential problems were averted that might otherwise have arisen
