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.
