Barış'tan kim yararlanıyor? iç savaş sonrasında yapılan barış anlaşmalarının içeriği üzerinde belirleyici olan faktörler

This thesis studies the determinants of civil war peace agreements and investigates whether the objective and capacity of rebel groups influence the proportion of public benefits provisions the actors include when designing a peace agreement. By using a recent dataset, I measure the proportion of public benefits provisions in each peace agreement. Then, I question whether a rebel group's capacity and territorial goals are significant motivations for including benefits to the public by looking at the peace agreements signed between 1989 and 2009. The findings suggest that the rebel group and the state sign peace agreements with a greater percentage of public goods and benefits when the group has financial external support. The empirical analysis also show that group objective is a crucial determinant of the public benefits provisions and the groups with territorial aims include a significantly higher proportion of public benefits in agreements. Additionally, I show that the effects of external support and war objective remain significant when they are controlled for the variables regarding alternative explanations of peace settlement.
