What is The search for sustainable democracy, development and peace : the 2007 Sierra Leone elections about?

<p>Post-conflict African states such as Sierra Leone face critical challenges as they embark on the complex tasks of reconciliation, peace and the rebuilding of war-torn societies. Conflict transformation ultimately depends on the democratization of society, in ways that promote equitable inclusiveness in the political process, social justice and the promotion of citizenship rights.</p> <p>This collection of three essays explores the significance of Sierra Leone’s 2007 elections in the light of the quest of the people for a democracy that is responsive to social demands, welfare and popular aspirations. It provides first-hand information and analysis of the struggles of the Sierra Leonean citizens to overcome the legacy of a traumatic past, by using their vote to sanction bad governance, and choose a path to a good life and a sustainable democracy as the most viable guarantee for peace and development.</p>
