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.
