What impact can the content of a peace agreement have on the subsequent duration of peace? To help provide answers, Sean Kane responds in this blog by highlighting the findings of quantitative research on this issue. More specifically, Kane here focuses on 1) provisions that appear to have a statistically significant impact on peace agreements; 2) content that does not seem to have such an impact, which Kane writes notably includes political power-sharing provisions; and 3) the implementation of agreements.
