Economic development is not the primary field of expertise of the
military. However, sustainable growth and security are interrelated
and interdependent. Without sustainable economic growth, stability
will be hard to achieve. Although the traditional assumption is
that security should precede development, the central theme in this
thesis is that economic development and the development of capacity
for a banking system should start as soon as possible. This thesis
therefore examined two case studies in Kosovo and Afghanistan to
determine whether there is a viable role the military can play in
re-establishing a banking system in a country undergoing
stabilization and reconstruction. Both situations, as well as
historical cases, shows that the role of the military is limited to
providing logistical or security support for key infrastructure and
personnel. The study also demonstrates that the military should be
empowered with financial knowledge that is needed to assess the
situation, shape the development of the banking system and
synchronize military efforts with activities of other financial and
development-focused organizations.
