Revue Tiers Monde, 2003, vol. 44, issue 176, 829-856

Abstract: [eng] Philippe HUGON — Armed conflicts in Africa : Contributions, myths and limits of economic analyses. Conflict zones have been spreading since the collapse of the Berlin wall and there is need to rethink them. Is an economist warranted to broach the subject of armed conflicts, are African conflicts in any way specific ? Economic factors play an important role but are highly controversial depending on the authors and disciplines. This article presents an economic analysis and the international quantitative tests for conflictive factors ; it proposes a political economy of African conflicts and an opening in terms of chaotic entropy and systemic uncertainties as modes of analysing the intertwining of plural factors.
