Recovery from Armed Conflict in Developing Countries (Routledge Studies in Development Economics)

This comprehensive work examines ways in which developing countries may achieve economic, political and social reconstruction in the wake of armed conflict. International researchers discuss such issues as women and children in the recovery process, refugees and the role of aid, the reintegration of ex-combatants and community-led recovery. Case studies focus upon Afghanistan, Angola, Cambodia, Mozambique, South Africa and Sri Lanka.

Geoff Harris is Associate Professor in Economics at the University of New England, Australia, where he also coordinates the Centre for Peace Studies. A development economist by training, his recent publications address the impact of military expenditure and the costs of armed conflict in developing countries.
