IFES: An Integrated Approach to Elections and Conflict (2012)

In this paper, IFES links the conflict cycle and the electoral cycle to highlight effective conflict-sensitive electoral management strategies. Overlapping the two cycles shows the breadth of activities that already focus on reducing election-related violence and encourages innovation to fill existing gaps. Recommendations center on electoral planning that merges technical expertise with a multi-stakeholder approach. Strategies are outlined first by stages within the conflict cycle and cross-referenced with stages in the electoral cycle. Merging conflict-reduction approaches with the electoral cycle allows a better understanding of the inter-dependent roles that stakeholders play in reducing violent conflict around an election.
