Abstract

The article explores two complementary perspectives at the moment for observing transition from the war to peace in a society whose expression of the conflict is violent. Indeed, the first perspective points to understand democracy concept, the stability of the regime and democratic, semi-democratic threats to regimes in particularly violent societies. The second perspective analyzes some of many fold factors that take part in the establishment of peace in the period of the postconflict. Elements are taken from some of the most representative cases from austral South Africa and it settles down some common performance lines that are susceptible to be general to other cases. Finally, the intention interrelates visions that offer some analysis to treatment of the institutional stability in particularly violent societies, same as, analyzes the paper of the democracy, the type of required institutionality, the nature of the actors in conflict and the nature of the same conflict at the moment to establishing a cease to fire, one demobilization and one effective incorporation of these actors to the politic life
