Post-Conflict Reconstruction: The Changes in Relations between Government and Non-Governmental Organizations
Abstract
Non-governmental organizations participate more than two decades on
post-conflict reconstruction and peace-building. They participated on
reconstruction of Bosnia and Herzegovina, Angola and Haiti. Existing
experiences with post-conflict reconstruction shows that NGOs play a
positive roles in the process. On the basis of analysis of post-conflict
reconstruction in various countries the author thinks that the positive
relationship between NGOs and governments by the post-conflict
reconstruction and peace-building is weakening. Why after more than
decade of successful evolution of relationship between NGOs and
governments in the process of post-conflict reconstruction the skepticism
about this relationship emerges? On the case study of post-conflict
reconstruction of Afghanistan the possible answer will be offered.
