Since the end of the Cold War the number of civil wars with
following peaceand state-building attempts has significantly
increased. In line with the third wave of democratization theory
more and more states try to establish a market democracy after the
end of domestic conflict. But is a rapid transition with immediate
elections really the one best way to end domestic conflict? Recent
examples of Afghanistan and Iraq show that elections are by no
means an endpoint for domestic conflict within war-torn societies,
but rather an accelerator for ethnic violence. Therefore to
introduce primarily stable institutions, like rule of law and a
functioning bureaucracy, before organizing democratic elections,
seems to be a more promising strategy. The author Florian Kunze
investigates this hypothesis, first through a quantitative analysis
of 35 cases, and second through an in depth analysis of three case
studies: Namibia, Liberia, and South Africa. This book addresses
researches and students of international relations, politicians,
development workers and military staff faced with state building
tasks, and all other interested in the issue of democratic
transition after domestic conflict.
