Post-Conflict Economies in Africa: Synthesis and Lessons

Augustin Fosu ()

Chapter 14 in Post-Conflict Economies in Africa, 2005, pp 231-240 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract It is impossible to do justice to all the studies presented in this volume, but this chapter attempts to synthesize the material and draw lessons from the case studies. The synthesis has ten thematic issues: colonial history; neighbours; elite political instability; rent-seeking opportunities; child combatants; the proliferation of cheap weapons; inter-ethnic and class injustice and grievance; the need for impartial and effective judicial and legal systems; the role of the international community; and the role of democratic institutions.
