Beskrivning
Peace referendums', which seek to manage conflict between warring groups, are increasingly common. Yet they remain erratic forces—liable as often to aggravate as to resolve tensions. This book argues that, despite their risks, referendums can play useful roles amid armed conflict. Drawing on a distinctive combination of the fields of deliberative democracy, constitutional theory and conflict studies, and relying on comparative examples (eg, from Algeria, Colombia, New Caledonia, Northern Ireland, Papua New Guinea, and South Africa), the book shows how peace referendums can fulfil their promise as genuine tools of conflict management.

Recensioner i media

Ambitious, precisely argued, comprehensive, and important, Levy, O'Flynn and Kong combine hard-headed realism about the difficulties of deliberating across long-standing and deep divisions in post-conflict contexts (including indigenous-settler relations), with the equally realistic view that the alternatives to deliberative democracy are almost always worse. Their suggestions for 'Deliberative Peace Referendums' provide politically attractive and practical means for generating inclusion, stability, and political legitimacy in post-conflict political transitions. A must-read for deliberative democrats focused on constitution-making as well as for practitioners focused on post-conflict political transitions.
