Description
What causes the collapse of peace agreements? More importantly, why do some nations, which appear to have successfully transitioned from civil strife, regress into violence? What are the key elements that determine whether peace endures after conflict or falters?
In this profound investigation, Charles T. Call delves into the intricate dynamics behind fifteen case studies of civil war recurrence across regions like Africa, the Caucasus, Asia, and Latin America. He argues that commonly accepted theories regarding civil war—like poverty, disputes over natural resources, and weak governmental structures—are considerably less impactful than the issue of political exclusion. Through meticulous research, Call illustrates that the integration of former adversaries into post-war political frameworks is crucial for achieving lasting peace.
Why Peace Fails (PDF) presents a compelling argument for the international community to resist the inclination to withdraw peacekeeping resources and support immediately following the cessation of hostilities. Instead, it advocates for sustained engagement with newly elected post-war governments, ensuring that they provide opportunities for former foes to participate in the political process.
