Abstract: Since the end of the Cold War, countries emerging from civil wars have been ushered as quickly as possible into democracy.Elections held soon after the signing of peace agreements are thought to initiate a transformation from violence to peace and poverty to prosperity.But what if that is not the way it works?Irfan Nooruddin, with Thomas Flores of George Mason University, is examining elections in countries coping with the aftermath of a civil war.They argue that such rapid transitions to democracy are fraught with danger.
