Peace-Based Leadership A Solution to the Presidential Third Term Syndrome

Abstract

This paper explores the concepts of peace-based leadership as a solution to the presidential third-term syndrome that has become one of the major causes of instability in the developing world. The paper begins by defining peace-based leadership followed by an overview of the countries that have been rocked by third-term syndrome. The paper then focuses on the exploration of the causes and effects of the unconstitutional attempts to run a third-term by presidents. The final part of the paper explores the possibility of adopting peace-based leadership values as a solution. The analysis presented in this paper is informed by Galtung’s positive peace theory and Wilber’s integral theory also called the All Quadrants, All Levels, All Lines (AQAL) Model
