- Title
Peaceful Partitions: Obvious Cases? Implications of Czechoslovakia's Partition for Post-Conflict Peacebuilding.
- Authors
Matejova, Miriam
- Abstract
How could the cases of successful state separation contribute to our understanding of partition in post-conflict peacebuilding? Can they tell us anything new that prevailing partition theories may have missed? In an attempt to address such questions, this paper focuses on the break-up of Czechoslovakia, perhaps the most frequently cited case of successful partition. The case expands the existing partition theories' account of elite's motivations and their role in successful partition. While some of the factors revealed by the Czechoslovak break-up are consistent with the logic of prevailing partition theories, some have not been fully recognized by partition scholars.
