Ethnic wars and post-conflict democracy
Abstract
The article analyzes the state of the research of civil wars, ethnic wars, the conditions and institutional and contextual factors which increase the risk of beginning and resuming wars, the relationship between political regime types and civil and ethnic war risks. Special attention is given to the post-conflict institutional regulation of divided societies. The article concludes that despite the statistical significance of various variables, the quantitative models can not reveal the cause-and-effect relationships without taking into account the political will of actors acting within different institutional contexts.
