Subject(s): Summary: Between 1989 and 1999 there were 14 major peacebuilding missions. all were deployed to countries in which a civil war had just ended. A common strategy of all these missions was rapid democratization and marketization. Drawing on the experiences of these missions this book argues that the strategy of transforming war torn states into stable market economy democracies is essentially sound but cannot be rushed. Suggests instead that first attention should be given to establishing institutions that would in turn be capable of managing the destabilising effects of the transition to democracy and free markets, and that these be phased in over time.
