State Structure and Electoral Systems in Post-Conflict Situations
Careful consideration of the deeply related issues of state structure and electoral systems is essential at an early stage of any peace process. Identifying the requirements of state structure and electoral system design - such as protection of minority identity groups at a national or sub-national level - can help to achieve robust political solutions. This comparative research paper strives to present an overview of the most common issues and most commonly discussed potential solutions in state structure and electoral system design, including federal and unitary states, protection of group and minority rights, protection against changes to constitutionally protected rights, and requirements for efficient government. The paper should provide a useful handbook for negotiators, mediators, and others involved in peace processes.This project was made possible by a generous grant from the Norwegian Ministry of Foreign AffairsDownload text-only version (pdf 730kb)Download full version (pdf 1.9mb)
