From War to Democracy : Dilemmas of Peacebuilding

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - Attempts to introduce democracy in the wake of civil war face a critical problem: how can war-torn societies move towards peace and democracy when competitive politics and hard-fought elections exacerbate social and political conflict Through a study of six themes (peacekeeping, management of violence, power sharing, political party transformation, elections, civil society and international reactions to democratization crises) this volume considers the dilemmas that arise in pursuing peace after civil war through processes of democratization. The contributors' research highlights the complex relationship between democratization, which is competitive, and peacebuilding or efforts to achieve reconciliation. The book offers insights into more effective action in peacebuilding in light of the short-term negative effects that democratization can introduce. It is a thought-provoking work that seeks both to advance theory and to provide policy-relevant findings to facilitate more effective and durable transitions from war to democracy. How can war-torn societies move towards peace and democracy when competitive politics and hard-fought elections exacerbate social and political conflict This book explores the peacebuilding efforts of the international community through the promotion of democracy and some of the problems, challenges, opportunities and trade-offs these efforts entail.
