Abstract:

 

This article presents a framework that need to be considered in the design and analysis of negotiated agreements dealing with ‘ethnic conflict’ and civil wars. Such agreements implemented from above with third-party interventions must include consideration of how they affect: i) the local rationality structure (both intra- and inter-ethnic relations); ii) structural conditions; iii) institutional conditions and relations; and iv) the space for contestation of implementation. If left unattended these dimensions may recreate tension for years to come, block implementation and generate risk of relapse into violent conflict. The framework is applied in the analysis of negotiations drawn from the case of former Yugoslavia and demonstrates how several of the dimensions become relevant at different stages in different contexts.
