Post-Conflict Recovery: Does the Global Economy Work for Peace?

No DP2005-05, WIDER Working Paper Series from World Institute for Development Economic Research (UNU-WIDER)

Abstract: Countries as diverse as Afghanistan, Angola, and Sierra Leone are now attempting to recover from major wars, often amidst continuing insecurity. The challenge is to achieve a broad-based recovery that benefits the majority of people. The economic and social recovery of conflict-affected countries cannot be separated from their interaction with the rest of the world through flows of finance, goods, and people. Unfortunately, the global economy is not working well for peace.
