It suggests that democratization can in fact help to prevent violent conflict in divided societies, as demonstrated by two case studies: Bulgaria and Macedonia. At a time when democracy promotion is increasingly becoming part of international relations and foreign policy, this study offers some poignant lessons for democratization and conflict resolution in places such as Iraq, Afghanistan and Israel/Palestine to name but a few. 606 $aDemocracy$zBulgaria 607 $aBulgaria$xPolitics and government$y1990- 607 $aMacedonia (Republic)$xPolitics and government$y1992- 607 $aBulgaria$xEthnic relations 607 $aMacedonia (Republic)$xEthnic relations 615 0$aDemocracy 676 $a949.7603 700 $aEngstro?m$b Jenny$f1972-$0892631 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910154572703321 996 $aDemocratisation and the prevention of violent conflict$91993871 997 $aUNINA
