This seminar will take stock of the challenges to democracy facing Afghanistan and Sri Lanka, two South Asian countries that have or are currently experiencing internal conflict and civil war.
How can insurgents be integrated into political processes nationally and locally? Which political reforms have been most crucial for making state agencies respect democratic processes? What has been the role of local business and civil society in moving from conflict to post-conflict?
