Democratization as integration. Exile, return and changing conflict lines in Burundi’s democratic post-war transition
ETH Zurich.
Countries emerging from ethnic civil wars almost naturally lack the commonly known preconditions for successful democratization. Yet peace agreements since the 1990s have normally comprised different measures to not only build peace, but also introduce a more democratic mode of governance. The driving forces and dynamics of such processes, however, remain poorly understood. The literature on democratization and democratic transitions as well as parts of the peacebuilding literature tend to assume that ethnic civil wars mainly deepen the ethnic division. Furthermore, internal and external actors have normally been seen as rather static categories.
