TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examine how power-sharing institutions might best be designed to stabilize the transition to enduring peace among former adversaries following the negotiated settlement of civil wars and identify four different forms of power sharing based on whether the intent of the policy is to share or divide power among rivals along its political, territorial, military, or economic dimension.

TL;DR: This article explored variables that may explain the longevity of negotiated peace settlements, and identified the environmental factors and institutional choices that affect the short-term stability of the peace following civil war. But they focused on the impact of settlement arrangements.

TL;DR: This article argued that those negotiated settlements that are the most extensively institutionalized, that provide institutional guarantees for the security threats antagonists face as they move toward a situation of centralized state power, are the ones most likely to prove stable.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors consider the role that the implementation of negotiated peace agreements has on the prospects for fostering a durable peace following the negotiated resolution of civil wars and propose policy recommendations focusing on the role of third-party actors and aid donors.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors focus on the role that power sharing arrangements play in making it possible for some countries to make the transition to democracy successfully after civil war and hypothesize that the adoption of multiple forms of power sharing, measures constructed to end particularly difficult civil wars, facilitate the emergence of a minimalist form of democracy following some intrastate conflicts by assuaging warring groups' security concerns.
