Even if one side appears to have won, how the winner treats the defeated party will be critical to whether national reconciliation takes place and the sustainability of peace. A new government may be an unstable alliance of competing parties or consist of an uneasy collection of former fighters and technocrats who sat out the war in relative comfort abroad. 2012-08-13T14:39:00Z 2012-08-13T14:39:00Z 2003-12 http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/2003/12/3053823/conflict-prevention-reconstruction http://hdl.handle.net/10986/11283 English Social Development Notes; No. 14 Viewpoint CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo/ World Bank Washington, DC Publications & Research :: Brief Publications & Research
