Since the end of the Cold War, the United Nations has become
increasingly involved in peacebuilding. However, the often
questionable results have led to much mistrust of the methods
employed by international organizations. The current transition
paradigm assumes that local leaders which participate in the
process will assist in the democratic transition and are themselves
an output of the process. This assumption appears to be
fundamentally wrong. This book examines whether the inclusion of
non-democratic leadership in post-conflict transition induces
democratic principles and sustainable peace, or if it in fact
undermines the values which the international community attempts to
promote and contribute towards the solidification of non-democratic
regimes.
Using an in-depth analysis of local leadership before, during and
after democratic transition in three key case studies, namely
Burundi, Cambodia and Liberia, the author provides a unique insight
into the type of leadership required for transitioning a country to
democracy. Delivering a new framework that assists scholars,
policymakers and practitioners in understanding the roles of local
leaders in democratic transition, it also includes recommendations
for future peacebuilding operations.
