This study argues there are two separate but interacting processes
involved in post-conflict settings: (re)building the state and
(re)building the nation. Much of the literature, however, has
treated post-conflict reconstruction as a single and objective
process of organisational and functional structuring that
overlooked the potential and actual interactions and contradictions
within and between these two very different but inter-related
processes taking place during the course of post-conflict recovery.
These processes are not neutral or straight-forward but involve
highly sensitive, power-driven institutional and societal
undertakings that are related to the definition of the state as a
political and cultural community. They entail a political and
social (re)structuring that is closely linked with the pursuit and
distribution of power. The simultaneous undertaking of
democratisation that requires the redistribution of power and
interests through public participation and contestation tends to
further complicate these already sensitive processes.
