Clan societies are based around the extended family. Honour and solidarity are important, which is reflected in nepotism and blood revenge. However, a more positive aspect of clan societies is the use of reconciliation to solve conflicts. This guarantees that parties to a conflict can cooperate in the future. When intervening in a clan based society it is important to be aware of the differences compared to Western democracy. Based on theory and practice the cases of Afghanistan, Iraq, Albania and Chechnya are investigated. This book explains clan society and provides tools to facilitate state building and democratization in clan based societies for those who intervene, aimed at conflict resolution and democratization.International comparative social studies ;Volume 43.TribesAlbaniaTribes320.54094965Hille Charlotte519226Gendron RenéeMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910813955403321Clans and democratization4002391UNINA
