Abstract In regions troubled by ethnic based conflict violence often erupts abruptly and severely. Peacemakers, then, follow unconditional paths to prevent conflict escalation. The article analyzes the ways in which post-conflict constitutional designs shape the state structure through constitutional amendments. Peace agreements as bases for constitutional reform, the article claims, have reformatory but also obstructive implications. Seeing the Ohrid Framework Agreement as a case study, the paper analyzes its implications on the development of the political system in Macedonia. On one side OFA serves as a criterion for the Macedonian Euro-Atlantic integration and a driving force for the creation of a functioning multicultural society. On the other side, the procedural and substantive flaws of the agreement undermine its absorbability in the society. In procedural sense, OFA hindered its own implementation through the used terminology and the drafting process. In substantial sense, agreement’s goals and provisions reached beyond the purpose of peace agreements and underestimated the complexity of the conflicting issues at stake.

冲突后宪法设计的影响：《奥林匹克框架协议》和马其顿宪法

摘要在受种族冲突困扰的地区，暴力经常突然爆发。然后，和平缔造者走无条件的道路，以防止冲突升级。本文分析了冲突后宪法设计通过宪法修正案塑造国家结构的方式。该条声称，和平协议作为宪法改革的基础，具有改革性但也具有阻碍性的含义。本文以《奥赫里德框架协议》为案例研究，分析了其对马其顿政治体系发展的影响。一方面，OFA是马其顿的欧洲-大西洋一体化的标准，也是创建功能性多元文化社会的驱动力。另一方面，协议的程序性和实质性缺陷破坏了其在社会中的吸收能力。从程序意义上讲，OFA通过使用的术语和起草过程阻碍了其自身的实施。从实质上讲，协议的目标和规定超出了和平协议的目的，并低估了所涉冲突问题的复杂性。
