Description
Book SynopsisHow can leaders craft political institutions that will sustain the peace and foster democracy in ethnically divided societies after conflicts as destructive as civil wars? This volume compares power-dividing and power-sharing solutions.
Trade Review"Those of us who write about civil wars and intrastate conflict must now consider the innovative insights of Sustainable Peace, particularly its rejections of power sharing as a panacea. Philip G. Roeder and Donald Rothchild tease out better, novel, ideas from a range of important cases. We cannot neglect their findings."—Robert I. Rotberg, Kennedy School of Government, Harvard University
"Sustainable Peace will be a must-read for any academic working in the field of ethnic conflict management. Nowhere has the theory of 'power-division' been put forward as comprehensively and as clearly as in this volume. It is certain, therefore, to have a major impact. The collection is global in its scope, with cases from a rich variety of different geographic regions."—John McGarry, Queen's University
