The Coherence of Democratic Peace-Building

No RP2006-147, WIDER Working Paper Series from World Institute for Development Economic Research (UNU-WIDER)

Abstract: Recent attention has focused on the difficulties of establishing 'coherence' between humanitarian relief aid in complex emergencies and the objective of ending violent conflict. This paper introduces a parallel problem: absence of total synergy between making peace and building democracy. A widely held assumption in the international community is that in post-conflict situations peace-building and democratization are virtually synonymous; creating the conditions for the one does so for both, the two processes will be reciprocal and mutually supportive.
