Additional text

This ground-breaking study shows how deliberative peace referendums (DPRs) can help find common ground in peace processes - contexts where democratic deliberation is urgently needed and yet hard to succeed. The authors convincingly argue that DPRs can avoid problems of 'ordinary' peace referendums and thus help achieve more sustainable peace settlements.
