The Role of Civil Society, Media and Education in Post-Conflict Rehabilitation Activities

In various locations on the globe, the United Nations (UN), the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE), North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and the European Union (EU), among other organizations, have been engaged in multidimensional peace and consequently post conflict rehabilitation (PCR) activities and operations. In war-shattered societies the conditions associated with successful democratization are often lacking. Numerous conditions have been suggested to affect the likelihood of successful democratization. Conducive conditions for democratization include low levels of violence, the development of political contestation before the expansion of political participation, absence of foreign domination, an efficient economic system, high economic development, cooperation that cuts across subcultures, political trusts and beliefs in compromises and the legitimacy of democratic institutions. However, after a violent conflict, these conditions are typically absent. Insecurity also affects the levels of investments and economic development, which produces high level of unemployment. Civil society organizations tend to be divided and polarized and political trust becomes low, which hinders cooperation across subcultures.In war-shattered societies the conditions associated with successful democratization are often lacking.
