| Research Abstract |
This research project is to analyse the conflicts in the Middle East and Asia, and study various social and political factors that might be obstacles to the function of state apparatus in the post-conflict situations.
In this research we mainly focused on the processes of political reconstruction, including democratization and institutionalisation of state apparatus in the post-conflicts state, such as Iraq, Lebanon and Afghanistan. Through our research we found that the traditional social networks such as ethnic, sectarian, and tribal ties, are strongly reflected in the newly established electoral systems in the post-conflict states. It is because of the quick introduced formality of democratic system in which the political parties and organizations have not developed yet to represent diverse voices from the society properly. It is also worth noting that this process, including regime changes, was accelerated by the external actors, after the intervention of foreign powers.
We also clarified that the traditional social networks played an important role in maintaining governing mechanism in the authoritarian regimes. It led us to recognize the significance in studying the uninstitutional networks that support the stability of authoritarian regimes.
It was a great opportunity for us to witness and experience the so-called" Arab Springs" during our research project. Analysing each case of the" Arab Springs", we concluded that we need to introduce new method of analysis, combining the new institutionalism, new social movement theory, and international relations.
