Focusing on legitimacy, conflict management, and the increasing participation of the international community in transitions from war to peace, this panel will discuss governance regimes between war and peace based on the recently published USIP Press book, Interim Governments [3] (Karen Guttieri and Jessica Piombo, eds.). The speakers will address key questions: What sorts of interim governments are in use around the world today, and how do they affect the quality of governance that results once the interim period has ended? How does international involvement affect the balance of power between domestic elites? How does the type of interim regime affect the nature of the post-transition government? What factors are decisive in determining the outcome?
