Book Synopsis Rebuilding War-Torn States by : Graciana del Castillo

Book excerpt: 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.

Book Synopsis Making Peace Work by : Tony Addison
Download or read book Making Peace Work written by Tony Addison. This book was released on 2014. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reconstruction from conflict is a complex and demanding task, and a major challenge for post-conflict countries as well as the international community. Countries and their donor partners face multiple priorities - rebuilding infrastructure, assisting war-damaged communities, and re-creating weakened institutions - with too few resources to meet these needs. Moreover, if the poor are not prioritized then the end of war may have saved lives, but will have done little for livelihoods. And women are often left behind. Without reconstruction, countries may easily regress back to war. This book provides an insight into some of the principal issues that arise in post-conflict economic and social reconstruction, and offers examples of what works, and what does not. Each chapter tackles a key theme, and illustrates the with illustrations from a wide selection of countries. This book will be of great interest to all working on economic and social reconstruction in post-conflict countries, as well as those working on peace and development more generally.

Book Synopsis After the Conflict by : Patricia Weiss Fagen
Download or read book After the Conflict written by Patricia Weiss Fagen. This book was released on 1995. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The War-torn Societies Project has issued its first Occasional Paper, an annotated bibliography and essay, set in a conceptual framework covering post conflict rebuilding. The report takes stock of existing knowledge and experience in the field and identifies the most important projects and studies that address the problems of rebuilding. Taken together, the works discussed in this paper shed light on the complex challenges of reconciliation, reconstruction and the consolidation of often fragile peace arrangements. This essay is meant to be an operational and an analytical tool. It responds not only to the awareness that well trageted research can and should contribute to improving ongoing efforts, but also to pressing requests of policy makers and practitioners for knowledge and expertise on which they can ground their efforts and redefine their policies. The study is organized into chapters on international organizational capacities, security structures and political, economic and social rebuilding.
