Description
This policy research report prepared for the World Bank has among its main objectives to alert the international community about the negative consequences that civil wars have on development.
The first part of the book addresses such consequences, at the national scale, on the neighboring countries, and at the global scale. The second part focuses more closely on the factors determining the incidence of violent conflicts, the links between conflicts and development –or the lack of it-, and circumstances making countries prone to fall into “conflict traps”. The third and last part calls for national and international intervention and suggests some policies that might be effective in reducing conflict incidence worldwide.
