{"product_id":"international-perspectives-on-democratization-and-peace-9781800430686","title":"International Perspectives on Democratization and","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSince at least the 1990s, international mediation efforts have investigated whether civil conflicts could be resolved through democratization. The results have been mixed, and within the scholarship there is no real framework for how to approach the question, let alone any agreement on the answers.\u003cbr\u003e  Drawing on concrete cases from three continents, and bringing together contributions from political scientists, historians, area specialists, and international relations experts, International Perspectives on Democratization and Peace takes stock of all the efforts expended in pursuit of peaceful, democratic settlements to civil conflict and provides a sorely needed framework for thinking clearly about the role of democratization in international mediation processes. In three sections, authors give a philosophical and historical elaboration of the key questions, investigate seven applied case studies that survey the impact of democratization on civil conflicts in diverse global contexts, and discuss how US preference for its own interests over international democratization has delayed, but not indefinitely forestalled, the process of democratization in many parts of the globe, a process that demands continued, serious analysis and discussion. \u003cbr\u003e  This book is a must-read not for scholars within international relations, international political economy, development studies, political science, and peace and conflict studies.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapter 1.\tOpen Roads to Peace and Democratization; \u003ci\u003eMónica Dias \u003c\/i\u003e Chapter 2.\tPost-Nuclear \/ Post-Colonial Challenges to Democratization in the Pacific;\u003ci\u003e Robert Jacobs \u003c\/i\u003e Chapter 3.\tDemocratization, Peace and the Differences betyween Asian and Western Approaches: The Case of Cambodia; \u003ci\u003eMakiko Takemoto \u003c\/i\u003e Chapter 4.\tDemocratization and its impact on ethnic conflict and peace in Myanmar; \u003ci\u003eNarayanan Ganesan \u003c\/i\u003e Chapter 5.\tThe peace process in Sri Lanka: The challenges for democracy after decades of civil conflict and terrorism; \u003ci\u003eRaquel Duque \u003c\/i\u003e Chapter 6.\tA democratic tradition as the background to armed conflict: The paradox of the Colombian case; \u003ci\u003eMargarita Cuervo \u003c\/i\u003e Chapter 7.\tThe roads to reinvigorate the peace agreements: Between electorial and justice reforms in Guatemala;\u003ci\u003e Jose Carlos Sanabria \u003c\/i\u003e Chapter 8.\tThe Angolan Process of Peace and Democratization: a case study; \u003ci\u003eRaul Tati \u003c\/i\u003e Chapter 9.\tPeace and conflict in Mozambique: A long Road to democracy; \u003ci\u003eAntónio L Fontes Ramos \u003c\/i\u003e Chapter 10.\tComparative Analysis of the Regional Security System of Europe and Asia: dilemmas of the Asian Security System; \u003ci\u003eGen Kikkawa \u003c\/i\u003e Conclusion.
