Reconstruction from conflict is a complex and demanding task, and a major challenge for post-conflict countries as well as the international community. Countries and their donor partners face multiple priorities - rebuilding infrastructure, assisting war-damaged communities, and re-creating weakened institutions - with too few resources to meet these needs. Moreover, if the poor are not prioritized then the end of war may have saved lives, but will have done little for livelihoods. And women are often left behind. Without reconstruction, countries may easily regress back to war. This book provides an insight into some of the principal issues that arise in post-conflict economic and social reconstruction, and offers examples of what works, and what does not. Each chapter tackles a key theme, and illustrates the with illustrations from a wide selection of countries. This book will be of great interest to all working on economic and social reconstruction in post-conflict countries, as well as those working on peace and development more generally.

The War-torn Societies Project has issued its first Occasional Paper, an annotated bibliography and essay, set in a conceptual framework covering post conflict rebuilding. The report takes stock of existing knowledge and experience in the field and identifies the most important projects and studies that address the problems of rebuilding. Taken together, the works discussed in this paper shed light on the complex challenges of reconciliation, reconstruction and the consolidation of often fragile peace arrangements. This essay is meant to be an operational and an analytical tool. It responds not only to the awareness that well trageted research can and should contribute to improving ongoing efforts, but also to pressing requests of policy makers and practitioners for knowledge and expertise on which they can ground their efforts and redefine their policies. The study is organized into chapters on international organizational capacities, security structures and political, economic and social rebuilding.

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. The implicit assumption in the international community that rapid political democratisation along with economic liberalisation holds the key to sustainable peace is belied by the experiences of countries such as Iraq and Afghanistan. Often, the challenges of post-conflict reconstruction revolve around the timing and sequencing of different reform that may have contradictory implications. 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. The book provides evidence that many reforms that are often thought to be imperative in post-conflict societies may be better considered as long-term objectives, and that the immediate imperative for such societies should be 'people-centred' policies.
