Legal Empowerment and Horizontal Inequalities after Conflict
探讨法律赋权能否减少冲突后的横向不平等，基于利比里亚两个项目分析其在促进公平与维护和平之间的张力。
This article explores whether legal empowerment can address horizontal inequalities in post-conflict settings, and, if so, how. It argues that legal empowerment has modest potential to reduce these inequalities. Nevertheless, there are risks that legal empowerment might contribute to a strengthening of group identities, reduction of social cohesion, and, in the worst case, triggering of conflict. It looks at how two legal empowerment programmes in Liberia navigated the tensions between equity and peace.
