Zásady pro vypracování

A power-sharing system has become a popular mechanism of ethnic conflict management in deeply divided multi-ethnic states. Consociational model of democracy has been frequently implemented in the post-conflict states and many of them failed soon within a few years after its establishment. While short-term contributions of consociational democracy to post-conflict reconstruction in deeply divided states are acknowledged, the long-term positive impact on the stability and sustained peace is doubted. The research target is to find out how the consociational democracy impacts conflict dynamics in the postconflict plural states from the long-term and how conflict dynamics impact the consociational model. The empirical part will be based on two cases – Lebanon and Burundi from 2005-2020. Concerning the primary sources, data for observing intrastate conflict dynamics will be collected from the Uppsala Conflict Data Program. Nature of conflicts and violence will be observed and put into the context of political and social affairs at the time. The impact of conflict dynamics on the model will be observed by analysis of peace agreements and laws that change the principles of the political system.

Předběžná náplň práce

Systém sdílení moci se stal populárním mechanismem při řešení ethnického konfliktu v etnicky hluboce rozdělených společnostech. Konsociační model demokracie je v takových státech často používán po ukončení občanské války, ale ve většině z nich se systém neudržel a během několik prvních let byl změněn. Zatímco krátkodobý přínos systému je obecně uznáván, dlouhodobý přínos pro stabilitu a udržitelný mír je často zpochybňován. Cílem práce je zjistit, jaký dlouhodobý vliv má konsociační model demokracie v postkonfliktních státech na dynamiku konfliktu a jaký vliv má dynamika konfliktu na model. Empirická část bude založena na dvou případech – Libanonu a Burundi v letech 2005-2020. Pro zjištění dynamiky konfliktu budou použita data z Uppsala Conflict Data Program, která budou následně dána do kontextu politického a sociálního dění. Analýzou mírových smluv a přijatých zákonů týkajících se politického systému bude zjištěn dopad dynamiky konfliktu na konsociační model.
