Through a series of frank and incisive case studies of conflicted countries, contributors'' chapters challenge the centrality and timing of elections as a key pillar of reconstruction at a war''s end. They underline the dangers in rushing elections, compromising principles, and lowering the bar for what constitutes free and fair elections in situations of conflict. The authors also underline the economic cost of elections in uncertain political situations and argue that global taxpayers, who must bear the burden, are justified in questioning the value of ill-timed elections.
