Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: This paper presents an empirical challenge to the commonly-accepted wisdom that negotiated settlements are the best way to end civil wars. There are two problems with negotiated settlements. First, negotiated settlements account for only one-fifth of all civil war outcomes, thus the bulk of wars and their endings remain largely understudied. Second, wars ended by negotiated settlements are much more likely to recur than those ended by outright military victory. The paper shows that military victories, especially those attained by rebels, are not only more stable, but may help better promote democratization. The paper argues that rebel victories are more stable because they employ mechanisms of both harm and benefit to all parties in reconstructing the state. Negotiated settlements by contrast tend to include only mutual benefit, leaving mutual harm mechanisms aside. The implication being that without the possibility of mutual harm, negotiated settlements fail. The paper offers ways to integrate harm mechanisms into these settlements and thereby make them as robust as military victories.
