Example text

Democratization adds legitimacy to multi-cultural governments in multi-cultural societies. It allows for the representation of and participation in the political process of all ethnic and religious groups, social classes, and genders. It allows for the governance of the majority, while minorities are respected and protected. It supports the promotion of positive peace and the strengthening of social and political structures to support justice, equality, and access to and participation in the political and economic life for all of the population.

Again, international organizations play an important role in ‘‘guiding’’ the speed and application of peacebuilding efforts, to assure that this will not happen. ‘‘Sustainable democratization’’ is the key approach to violently divided societies. This implies that democratization processes are part of, and indeed central to, the post-conflict peacebuilding effort. Citizens of a society that has learned to engage freely and openly on a political level are also able to trade and live peacefully with each other – and with others beyond its borders.

The political, economic, and socio-cultural breakdown of (multi)national communities makes it extremely difficult to rebuild a sense of identity and communal belonging once violence has ceased. Whereas it may be possible to impose a sense of Gesellschaft from outside, the sense of Gemeinschaft has to grow from within. Democratization processes serve both of these goals. Violently divided societies are characterized by institutional breakdown: weak or non-existent political institutions; a power vacuum; vigorous competition for power; weak or non-existent civil society institutions; and limited government legitimacy and authority.
