When wars end, countries confront a multi-pronged transition. Violence must give way to security for inhabitants; lawlessness and political exclusion must give way to the rule of law and participatory government; ethnic, religious, or class/caste polarization must give way to national reconciliation; and ruined war economies must be transformed into functioning market economies that enable ordinary people to support themselves.
当战争结束以后，各国都面临多方面的过渡。对国民而言，暴力必须让位于安全；无法无天和政治排除必须让位于法制和民享政府；种族、宗教或社会阶级/等级分化必须由民族和解取代；千疮百孔的战争经济必须转型为健全的市场经济，从而让普通民众能够安身立命。
