Summary

Countries emerging from civil war or protracted violence often face the daunting challenge of rebuilding their economy while simultaneously creating the political and social conditions for a stable peace. Drawing on a range of thematic studies and empirical cases, this book examines how post-conflict reconstruction policies can be better sequenced in order to promote sustainable peace and provides evidence that many reforms that are often thought to be imperative may be better considered as long-term objectives, and that the immediate imperative for such societies should be 'people-centred' policies.
