The first consists of situations of armed conflict where violence ended on the battlefield, such as in Ethiopia and Rwanda. The second includes situations where the end of violence and the post-conflict agenda were negotiated and facilitated either internally or by external interveners such as the United Nations or regional organisations, such as in the case of South Sudan. The study focuses on forms of peace settlement that are able to return to the nation and state building conversations that lie at the root of the conflicts.1 digital file (38 p.)Application/pdfenSOUTH OF SAHARASTATE BUILDINGPEACEBUILDINGPOST-CONFLICT SOCIETIESLEADERSHIPDEMOCRATIZATIONPOLITICAL STABILITYNATURAL RESOURCE MANAGEMENTCOLONIZATIONWorking Paper
