Abstract: Abstract Bashur presents Basic Income as an innovative tool to complement development and peacebuilding interventions. In reviewing the field’s track record in helping countries achieve lasting peace, the chapter highlights peacebuilding’s challenges, where Basic Income lends itself as a promising alternative. Based on the evidence from Basic Income pilots, this tool speaks directly to key development indicators and has multiplier and feedback effects, increasing its cost-effectiveness. Particularly relevant to rebuilding war-affected countries, Basic Income has unique positive effects relating to resilience, social cohesion, social contract, and climate-induced migration. Bashur proposes carefully testing whether Basic Income’s mechanism can also be demonstrated in such settings through a Basic Income experiment. If its transformative effects are validated, Basic Income could be an innovative instrument for future development and peacebuilding interventions.
