Even when armed conflicts formally end, the transition to peace is
not clear-cut. This comprehensive volume explores the mounting
evidence which suggests that it is rather 'unlikely to see a clean
break from violence to consent, from theft to production, from
repression to democracy, or from impunity to accountability'. The
authors analyse the complex endeavour of transitioning out of war,
studying how it is often interrelated with other transformations
such as changes in the political regime (democratisation) and in
the economy (opening of markets to globalisation). They explore
how, in the same way as wars and conflicts reflect the societies
they befall, post-war orders may replicate and perpetuate some of
the drivers of war-related violence, such as high levels of
instability, institutional fragility, corruption, and inequality.
This book thus suggests that, even in the absence of a formal
relapse into war and the re-mobilisation of former insurgents, many
transitional contexts are marked by the steady and ongoing
reconfiguration of criminal and illegal groups and practices. This
book will be of great interest to students and researchers of
political science and peace studies. It was originally published as
an online special issue of Third World Thematics.
This book deals with the question how institutional reform can
contribute to peacebuilding in post-war and divided societies. In
the context of armed conflict and widespread violence, two
important questions shape political agendas inside and outside the
affected societies: How can we stop the violence? And how can we
prevent its recurrence? Comprehensive negotiated war terminations
and peace accords recommend a set of mechanisms to bring an end to
war and establish peace, including institutional reforms that
promote democratization and state building. Although the role of
institutions is widely recognized, their specific effects are
highly contested in research as well as in practice. This book
highlights the necessity to include path-dependency, pre-conflict
institutions and societal divisions to understand the patterns of
institutional change in post-war societies and the ongoing risk of
civil war recurrence. It focuses on the general question of how
institutional reform contributes to the establishment of peace in
post-war societies. This book comprises three separate but
interrelated parts on the relation between institutions and
societal divisions, on institutional reform and on security sector
reform. The chapters contribute to the understanding of the
relationship between societal cleavages, pre-conflict institutions,
path dependency, and institutional reform. This book will be of
much interest to students of peacebuilding, conflict resolution,
development studies, security studies and IR.
