Abstract
The project examines post-war trajectories of power-contending groups which emerged and mobilised around inclusivity claims during armed conflict, by interrogating the extent of their inclusion in post-war state-building, and their ability and willingness to adopt inclusive state policies. In association with ‘political settlement,’ inclusivity is seen by donor agencies as bridging both peacebuilding and state-building goals to bring about stability, legitimacy, accountability and resilience in conflict-affected countries. The paper asks “What are the dimensions of, and criteria for inclusivity during political settlement and state-building processes?” and “Under which conditions do inclusive negotiation and decision-making processes lead to inclusive governance outcomes?”
