"Post-Civil War Democratization: Promotion of Democracy in Post-Conflict States" Paper presented at the annual meeting of the Southern Political Science Association, Hotel Intercontinental, New Orleans, LA, Jan 09, 2008 <Not Available>. 2009-11-25 <http://www.allacademic.com/meta/p208470_index.html>Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript
Abstract: Conflict resolutions and institution building in the post-conflict
society is a dominant research agenda. Looking at the mode of conflict
resolutions, scholars have tried to predict the duration of peace in a post-civil
war state. The literature, nonetheless, does not explicitly deal how the
termination of conflict itself is related to the institutional outcome like
democratization in post-civil war states. After the termination of conflict in
either side victory or negotiated settlement, government as well as rebels wants
to institutionalize the conflict outcome promoting their own political interests.
Nevertheless, they can promote their political interest only when the defeated a
side does not inflict costs. Promoting democratic institutions and bringing the
political oppositions in the mainstream political processes increase the costs for
the defeated a side, at least in terms of electoral support. This study argues that
the way conflict terminated are not significantly different from each other. The
post-conflict democracy is influenced by the rebel objectives, international
actors, and the cost and benefit perceived by the incumbent regime in
incorporating the rebel groups or competing groups into the mainstream
political processes. |
