Intra-State Conflict, Governments and Security: Dilemmas of Deterrence and Assurance. This volume seeks to understand the central role of governments in intra-state conflicts. The book explores how the government in any society plays two pivotal roles: These roles come into conflict with each other, as those governments that can best deter potential rebels are also those that can do the most harm to their citizens.
Therefore, a balance must be achieved, raising difficult tradeoffs for policy-makers. This volume marks a departure from studies of ethnic conflict and civil war in recent years, which have focused on failed states, in considering the idea that governments themselves may be the source of violence. The contributors not only explore the balancing act that governments must perform, but also on the positive and negative roles that the international community can play in these conflicts.
In doing so, the book covers a range of cases from both advanced and newer democracies to the most conflict-prone parts of the world.

The paper offers a critique of power-sharing arrangements as instruments able to sustain peace in The success of power sharing — defined as the achievement of a stable endogenously-driven process of state-building — in a post-conflict environment is at best limited, as illustrated by power sharing in Bosnia and Herzegovina and Lebanon. The paper argues that the impact of recent violence affects the stability of power-sharing compacts.
Elite accommodation, a pre-requisite of successful power sharing, is unlikely in the wake of civil wars. Further, outside intervention, while stabilizing in the short-term, creates a status quo bias that endangers the ability of power sharing to endure.
In sum, the paper argues that power sharing is not a panacea for sustainable peace in post-conflict societies. Especially in the early stages of peace implementation, power-sharing institutions are insufficient on their own to overcome the problem of credible commitment and provide a stable foundation for state re- building.
