摘要冲突后国家建设文献中的一个重要的理论和经验问题是，在从冲突中恢复的分裂社会中，哪些机构为和平与民主提供最佳前景。这一辩论对许多发展中国家具有高度相关性。与第三方在冲突后重建和混合的成功记录，在最好的投资，本文探讨的问题是联合的制度设计，广泛应用于政策实践和学术话语的严厉批评，可以实现和平与民主的双重目标，在分裂的冲突后社会。本文通过研究联合主义的支持者和批评者的主张，发现大量的概念和经验证据表明，联合机构在分裂社会的冲突后建立民主国家有着重大的希望。
Abstract A significant theoretical and empirical question underlying much of the literature on post-conflict state building is which institutions offer the best prospect for peace and democracy in divided societies recovering from conflict. This debate is highly relevant for many developing countries. With much invested by third parties in post-conflict reconstruction and a mixed track record of success at best, the question explored by this article is whether consociational institutional designs—widely applied in policy practice and severely criticised in academic discourse—can accomplish the twin goals of peace and democracy in divided post-conflict societies. Examining the claims of supporters and detractors of consociationalism, the article finds substantial conceptual and empirical evidence that consociational institutions hold significant promise for building democratic states after conflict in divided societies.
