The economic and social consequences of conflict

Book

Volume 1 of a two-volume set that contributes toward an understanding of economies at war so that appropriate policies may be identified that reduce human hardship. Papers focus on economic policy in poor countries under conflict conditions (Valpy FitzGerald); the political economy of war (David Keen); a statistical overview of the economic and social consequences of internal wars in some sixteen countries (Frances Stewart, Cindy Huang, and Michael Wang); findings from country case studies, presented in Volume 2, of conflicts in Afghanistan, Mozambique, Nicaragua, Sierra Leone, Sri Lanka, Sudan, and Uganda (FitzGerald, Stewart, and Wang); the treatment of children during conflict (Eric Greitens); food aid during civil war (Stewart and Emma Samman); the international political economy of conflict in poor countries (FitzGerald); and the costs of war in poor countries and policy recommendations (Stewart and FitzGerald). Stewart is with Queen Elizabeth House, University of Oxford, and at Somerville College. FitzGerald is with the Finance and Trade Policy Centre, Queen Elizabeth House, University of Oxford. Index.
