Summary: | The aim of this study is to convince
national and multilateral policy makers of the importance of
the public sphere concept for democratic governance and
strategic post-conflict assistance planning with the
objective of positive and sustainable change in current
post-conflict assistance policy and practice. The study
introduces the conceptual thinking underlying the public
sphere framework and, citing evidence from different
countries, highlights its relevance and calls for its
application in post-conflict environments. For practitioners
the study provides a public sphere assessment toolkit and a
toolbox for interventions. It also offers concrete examples
and recommendations on how to address the specific
governance challenges identified through a public sphere
analysis in three countries: Timor-Leste, Liberia and Burundi. |
