Conversely, in states with diverse political institutions, prospective rebels are given avenues to address their complaints inside the democratic system, increasing revolt costs and reducing the temptation to pursue military warfare. When armed struggle does occur, the chances of democracy are increased by peaceful political advocacy efforts.
There should be less likelihood of internal fighting if domestic and foreign players work to improve democratic processes and promote human rights, which included previously excluded groups and people in the electoral arena. Authority or other iteratively should be prioritized to ensure stability in the near term. At the same time, comprehensive democratic processes gain a foothold in comment situations since inclusive democratic processes, as well as political changes, might contribute to destabilization in the short term.
A large body of research indicates that civil wars are less likely to break out in countries with well-established political structures. What intellectuals of conflict and ideological scientists more generally refer to as the "inverted Inverted curve" graphically depicts this substantiation: on a graph that goes from complete autocracy to complete democracy, the possibility of a country entering internal struggle is low at the beginning, rising among hybrid regimes in the middle, and then falling again for the system should meet. Full autocracies and democracies have a better chance of maintaining stability from one season to the next. In contrast, nations with less clear political structures, or those with elements of both, are now more likely to experience civil strife.
At least two factors make unified democracies significantly less likely to experience civil war. To begin, well-established liberal democracies provide incentives for people of varying ideologies to engage in politics at a cheap cost. In comparison, rebel actors have to pay high prices when they resort to political violence, especially when it takes the form of conventional military combat. Those involved in politics with legitimate complaints are better off working inside the system than trying to reform it from the outside. As a second point, popular backing from the general public is crucial to the success of armed uprisings and insurrections. When these communities see the rebels as more respectable than the state administration, they are more likely to give them their full support. By allowing all people an equal opportunity to participate in politics and perhaps rise to power, unified democracy regimes are more widely accepted by the public, making it much more difficult for rebel actors to garner support.
Another theory blames the hybrid regimes' creating power rather than the effectiveness of their democracy. Uncertain internal politics allow elites in countries that are transitioning to democracy to pursue their interests through resetting institutions, rather than addressing widespread public issues like the risk of civil war. Therefore, transitional regimes may not have the power and resources to effectively crush dissident players. To compensate for their lack of resources, politically unstable players may resort to violence to take power and authority.
In addition, studies have indicated that states are more susceptible in the first five years after the conclusion of a civil war, making them more likely to relapse into violence. New as well as unproven institutional arrangements, unsolved social tensions, and a desire on the part of certain parts of the public to cling to wartime aims instead than find compromises all contribute to a climate conducive to the return of civil wars throughout this time. Completely peaceful resistance tactics that incorporate popular teamwork by big, inclusive, and varied groups may have a democratizing impact on civil culture that encourages moderation and collaboration, so engendering more lasting political changes.
Actors in civil society who are dedicated to nonviolence and who work towards improving the lives of all people should be provided with the means, training, support, and safety net they need to advance a shared social compact. They need to be encouraged to forgo aggressive tactics in favor of those that foster civic participation, group effort, collaboration, and skill development. Encourage semi-democratic regimes to complete their democratic transitions by providing them with foreign assistance in areas such as the building of more representative state institutions and elections that minimize divisiveness as well as title-holder outcomes. While the electoral system is being consolidated and socialized, the leader of parties to the conflict may be given temporary entry to legislators and office buildings to make it feel safe in positions of authority. Absent such stability, votes should be undertaken gradually to prevent hybrid governments from returning to complete autocracies, sliding into civil war, or experiencing violence associated with polls.
Local safe havens for collective discourse might be created as part of a more comprehensive array of institutional changes that also include expanding opportunities for direct involvement. Establishing local councils with public involvement may help generate a more fair and less controversial system to address problems, especially in transitional republics separated by socio-economic inequalities or ethnic bosoms, wherein early elections might have a negative impact. Women's engagement in peacebuilding, conflict resolution methods, as well as political discussions, warrants particular attention in light of the overwhelming objective research that more gender-equal countries experience less conflict. Legislators may help by keeping an eye on how the executive branch makes decisions in the defense sector. Furthermore, officials should consult with professionals, and academics, especially NGOs to ensure that security measures are consistent with democracy as well as civil rights standards.
Supporting educational changes that advance democratic ideals like participation, fairness, accountability, and human dignity should be a long-term goal for the Community of States. Ideas that encourage civic participation, social cohesiveness, and shared ideals of pluralism and acceptance should be included in the school curriculum to address the underlying reasons for disagreement. Long-term risk of inner conflict can be reduced by providing resources to local systems of educators but rather nonprofit organizations to assess the state of teaching in selected countries and assist national countries in developing top-player school reform plans customized to the requirements of every society.
