![]() ![]() The risk of recurrence is enhanced by the fact that almost all post-conflict societies struggle with unfavourable background conditions known to amplify the likelihood for renewed political violence, such as conflict in the neighbourhood. When civil war recurred, it was usually severe and took place within the first five post-conflict years. Based on the data gathered, three main messages become particularly clear.įirst, half of the cases experience civil war recurrence the other half remain relatively stable. Although much international support has been provided to those struggling to overcome their violent past, the amount of official development assistance (ODA) varies strongly between recipients, as well as among different areas of engagement. ![]() Unfavourable background conditions, often created or intensified by the previous conflict, reinforce the challenge and contribute to the conflict trap countries appear to face. In fact, peace frequently falters shortly after it has been achieved. Even after a violent conflict has ended, the challenge to build stable peace seems often insurmountable. Recurring violence haunts many countries that have experienced a civil war. Moreover, it analyses their predisposition for renewed violence based on established risk factors for recurrence. What exactly characterises post-conflict societies, and what are their chances to avoid renewed conflict? What does this mean for peacebuilding efforts, and what types of international support do they receive? Based on a rich compilation of partly newly coded data by the project Supporting Sustainable Peace at the German Development Institute / Deutsches Institut für Entwicklungspolitik (DIE), this briefing paper analyses international support to 28 countries that emerged out of a civil war after 1990. Preventing crises and conflict recurrence in post-conflict societies remains a major concern for international politics.
