传统治理在撒哈拉以南非洲的持续影响引起了学者们越来越多的关注，这些学者探索非国家和准国家形式的治理在现代国家中的作用。然而，很少有人注意到国家和传统治理结构之间相互作用的跨国和长期变化，特别是其对国家内部和平的影响。这项研究考察了传统治理有助于国家维持和平能力的条件。文章认为，国家和传统权力结构之间的制度互动类型影响到一个国家的整体治理动态及其维持和平的能力。通过将1989年至2012年撒哈拉以南非洲国家-传统当局互动的新数据与国家内部武装冲突数据相结合，我对和谐的国家-传统当局互动是否加强和平进行了系统的比较分析。经验结果支持这样一种观点，即与国家不承认传统当局相比，将传统当局纳入公共行政可以降低发生武装冲突的风险。此外，分析表明，这种互动的附加值取决于一国的殖民历史。
The continued influence of traditional governance in sub-Saharan Africa has sparked increasing attention among scholars exploring the role of non-state and quasi-state forms of governance in the modern state. However, little attention has been given to cross-country and over-time variation in the interaction between state and traditional governance structures, particularly in regard to its implications for intrastate peace. This study examines the conditions under which traditional governance contributes to state capacity to maintain peace. The article argues that the type of institutional interaction between the state and traditional authority structures influences a country’s overall governance dynamics and its capacity to maintain peace. By combining new data on state–traditional authorities’ interaction in sub-Saharan Africa from 1989 to 2012 with intrastate armed conflict data, I conduct a systematic comparative analysis of whether concordant state–traditional authorities’ interaction strengthens peace. The empirical results support the argument that integrating traditional authorities into the public administration lowers the risk of armed conflict in comparison to when they remain unrecognized by the state. Moreover, the analysis suggests that the added value of this type of interaction is conditional on the colonial history of a country.
