Abstract

ABSTRACT Societies faced with authoritarian rule or conflict usually adopt different paths to peace. The course adopted by each community to guarantee stability determines the extent to which the sustainability of the peace can be assured. Every attempt to pacify a society should aim to prevent a relapse to conflict or authoritarian rule while considering the damage caused and sorting out measures to repair the harm. The history of military coups and conflicts in the Central African Republic (CAR) is well documented. Still, the attempted remedies have greatly side-lined the raison d’être of the responses in guaranteeing peace and preventing relapse to conflict. As the CAR remains politically and socially unstable, an analysis of the failure of peace agreements to ensure stability constitutes a field of inquiry that urgently necessitates a more profound investigation to save the country from recurrent hostilities and guarantee a peaceful society for the citizens. Peace includes an aspiration manifested by both the CAR authorities and non-state armed groups in the course of hostilities and on the negotiation table. Central Africans indicate an interest in peace, but such interest often manifested and materialised in peace agreements has barely been implemented.

没有和平的和平协定:对中非共和国和平协定的批判性审查

摘要面对独裁统治或冲突的社会通常会采取不同的和平道路。每个社区为保证稳定而采取的方针决定了和平的可持续性能在多大程度上得到保证。每一次安抚社会的尝试都应该旨在防止再次陷入冲突或独裁统治，同时考虑造成的损害并找出修复损害的措施。中非共和国军事政变和冲突的历史有据可查。尽管如此，试图采取的补救措施在很大程度上偏离了在保障和平和防止冲突复发方面采取应对措施的理由。由于中非共和国在政治和社会上仍然不稳定，对和平协议未能确保稳定的分析构成了一个调查领域，迫切需要进行更深入的调查，以使该国免受反复发生的敌对行动的影响，并保障公民的和平社会。和平包括中非共和国当局和非国家武装团体在敌对行动中以及在谈判桌上表达的愿望。中非人表示对和平感兴趣，但这种兴趣往往在和平协议中表现出来并具体化，但几乎没有得到落实。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
