“…Research further suggests that a comprehensive peace agreement (CPA), which represents the culmination of all previous negotiations and agreedupon terms, can make securing peace more likely . Apart from the number and scope of peace agreement provisions, the extent to which provisions are implemented emerges as the strongest predictor of peace durability (Joshi and Quinn 2017).…”

There is an emerging consensus that women's participation in peace negotiations contributes to the quality and durability of peace after civil war. However, to date, this proposition has remained empirically untested. Moreover, how women's participation may contribute to durable peace has not been systematically explored. This article uses a mixed method design to examine this proposition. Our statistical analysis demonstrates a robust correlation between peace agreements signed by female delegates and durable peace. We further find that agreements signed by women show a significantly higher number of peace agreement provisions aimed at political reform, and higher implementation rates for provisions. We argue that linkages between women signatories and women civil society groups explain the observed positive impact of women's direct participation in peace negotiations. Collaboration and knowledge building among diverse women groups contributes to better content of peace agreements and higher implementation rates of agreement provisions. We substantiate this argument with qualitative case study evidence and demonstrate how collaboration between female delegates and women civil society groups positively impacts peace processes. Our findings support the assumption that women's participation in peace negotiations increases the durability and the quality of peace.

“…19 Related, in a sample of comprehensive peace accords, Madhav Joshi et al find the degree of security provisions to matter for the durability of peace rather than military power sharing as such. 20 Moreover, our findings in previous studies show that while the implementation of territorial and military power-sharing provisions increases the likelihood of peace, implementation of political pacts has no significant effect on peace. We also find that political pacts are implemented to a higher degree, and more quickly, than the other types of pacts.…”

Power sharing is increasingly recognized as an important tool for creating sustainable peace in war‐torn societies. However, we have limited knowledge concerning why political, territorial, and military power‐sharing pacts are reached and implemented. This article addresses this gap by providing a global study examining the signing and implementation of power‐sharing pacts in intrastate armed conflicts. We focus on how the type of political regime can influence these choices and theorize about the strategic incentives for warring parties in different types of regimes to sign and implement different pacts. Our large‐N analysis is based on data on power‐sharing provisions in eighty‐three peace accords in forty intrastate armed conflicts between 1989 and 2004. In line with our theoretical expectations, we find that political and military pacts are more likely to be signed in autocracies, whereas territorial pacts are more common in democracies. Somewhat surprisingly, we find no difference in the implementation patterns across regimes.

“…While still recognizing the critical importance of accord content and purpose, studies are increasingly focusing on agreement implementation. In general these studies find that the risk of civil war recurrence declines commensurate with the degree of accord implementation which also correlates with improvement along a number of quality of life indicators (Quinn et al 2019;Joshi and Quinn 2017;Jarstad and Nilsson 2008). To sum, reform-minded agreements that address the social and political root causes of conflict, in addition to security, and which are implemented at higher levels, are associated with a more durable, longer-lasting peace and improvement along a good number of quality of life indicators.…”

Types and Prevalence In contemporary usage, the term peace agreement loosely describes any textual instrument produced in a process aimed at ending or preventing armed conflict between two or more parties. Such a typology stretches from protocols, principles, frameworks, and memorandums at one end, toward single and limited issue agreements and comprehensive accords at the other. Here the most common types of peace agreements are presented by surveying the most widely used datasets and research projects on peace agreements. The Uppsala Conflict Data Program (UCDP) Peace Agreement Dataset at the University of Uppsala (Sweden) contains 217 peace agreements of various types signed between 1975 and 2011 (UCDP 2020). Of these 217 peace agreements, all but 20 were signed in
