Post-conflict economic reconstruction is a critical part of the
political economy of peacetime and one of the most important
challenges in any peace-building or state-building strategy. After
wars end, countries must negotiate a multi-pronged transition to
peace: Violence must give way to public security; lawlessness,
political exclusion, and violation of human rights must give way to
the rule of law and participatory government; ethnic, religious,
ideological, or class/caste confrontation must give way to national
reconciliation; and ravaged and mismanaged war economies must be
reconstructed and transformed into functioning market economies
that enable people to earn a decent living.
Yet, how can these vitally important tasks each be successfully
managed? How should we go about rehabilitating basic services and
physical and human infrastructure? Which policies and institutions
are necessary to reactivate the economy in the short run and ensure
sustainable development in the long run? What steps should
countries take to bring about national reconciliation and the
consolidation of peace? In all of these cases, unless the political
objectives of peacetime prevail at all times, peace will be
ephemeral, while policies that pursue purely economic objectives
can have tragic consequences. This book argues that any strategy
for post-conflict economic reconstruction must be based on five
premises and examines specific post-conflict reconstruction
experiences to identify not only where these premises have been
disregarded, but also where policies have worked, and the specific
conditions that have influenced their success and failure.
