 Dear Colleagues,                                                                                                      
                                                                                                                       
 The Communication for Governance and Accountability Program (CommGAP) is pleased to present two new publications: '?

                      By Henriette von Kaltenborn-Stachau                                                            
                                                                                                                     
                      High expectations for a quick "peace dividend", a public that does not trust the state, and    
                      state-citizen relations severed by years of exclusion are among the most challenging issues    
                      national governments, and the international community supporting them, encounter in planning   
                      and executing post-conflict recovery programs. These issues are too often neglected by policy  
                      makers. Experience has shown the cost of this oversight. Because of their direct relation to   
                      long-term stability and governance, dealing with these issues needs to be at the very heart of 
                      post-conflict work. This study applies the public sphere as a framework to deal with the       
                      "connective tissue" of state-building and calls for change in current post-conflict assistance 
                      policy and practice.

 pic13716.jpg)        Media and Communication in Post-Conflict and Fragile States                                    
                      By Shanthi Kalathil                                                                            
                      With John Langlois and Adam Kaplan                                                             
                                                                                                                     
                      The media and communication sector plays a complex role in post-conflict and fragile states.   
                      In states experiencing conflict, violent political upheaval or complete collapse, the media    
                      can provide important, reliable, and timely humanitarian and political information in the      
                      midst of chaos, helping people to navigate their tumultuous surroundings. Moving toward the    
                      longer term, media and communication processes can enable citizens to engage in dialogue,      
                      serve as platforms for debate and oversight, anchor governance reforms, and facilitate         
                      peacebuilding and poverty reduction. Yet, despite its importance, the media and communication  
                      sector is frequently an afterthought in post-conflict reconstruction. This paper calls for a   
                      new model in post-conflict and fragile states, one that prioritizes communication's role in    
                      governance and peacebuilding.
