Between 1945 and 1997, over 100 civil wars occurred, but in only 56 countries. Only 25 nations experienced only one civil war. Thirty-one other nations experienced between two and five civil wars. A number of studies have explored the conditions that contributed to negotiated settlements to civil wars holding, in the sense of the war not recurring within five years. However, none have looked at all cases of civil war, including those in which the governments or the rebels win, to determine what conditions predict the recurrence of civil war or the preservation of peace. In this paper we will explore the proposition that post-war regimes that are democratic and that respect the human rights of their citizens are more likely to survive and not experience a recurrence of civil wars. These effects will be qualified depending upon whether the outcome of the original civil war was a government victory, a rebel victory, or a negotiated settlement. This research should be of interests to scholars and policy makers alike, as they explore the conditions that make it possible to prevent the recurrence of civil war once a conflict has been brought to a conclusion.
