N2 - This paper examines the potential importance of externally-facilitated peacedividends and donor coordination in sustaining peace after the signing of anaccord. We extend our previous research on US performance after civil wars tolearn if adversary assumptions on peace dividends have additional positiveimpact when a wider sample of major Western European donors is included. Wasthe lack of US follow-through compensated for in whole or in part by theextension of development assistance allocations from European allies? We findthat cases in which donors provide significant and sustained post-conflict aid aresomewhat less likely to return to civil war than those who do not receivecomparable assistance. Moreover, we find in such cases that donor coordinationreinforced behaviour that encouraged the implementation process, providing anextra incentive for maintaining the peace agreement over the five-yearthreshold and beyond.
