"Contrary to the common belief that peace and democracy go hand in hand after a civil war, Pereira Watts argues they are in fact at a crossroads. Offering an innovative framework, based on Philosophical, Actors and Tactical considerations, Pereira Watts identifies 14 dynamic dilemmas in democratic peacebuilding, with respective trade-offs. She focuses on explaining the contradictions in modern post-conflict recovery, the challenges facing interim governments, and the role of the international community. Based on an analysis of more than 40 countries between 1989 and 2022 and more than 60 UN Peace Operations, she presents key issues that commonly need to be addressed in such scenarios: Elections and Political Parties; The Constitution; Checks, Balances and Power-sharing; Transitional Justice; Human Rights, Amnesty, Truth Commissions and War Crimes Tribunals; Disarmament, Demobilization, and Reintegration; and Media Reform and Civil Society. Solving any of these dilemmas leads to others that shape a complex apparatus for restoring peace and installing a new political regime. An essential resource for decision-takers, policymakers, international analysts and practitioners in the field of peacebuilding, that will also be of great value to students of International Relations and Peace Studies as well as anyone interested in peacekeeping, democracy building and state-building"--
