Overview
With the proliferation of civil wars since the end of the Cold War, many developing countries now exist in a "postconflict" environment, posing enormous development challenges for the societies affected, as well as for international actors. Postconflict Development addresses these challenges in a range of vital sectors - security, justice, economic policy, education, the media, agriculture, health, and the environment - in countries around the globe.Synopsis
For countries where open warfare has recently subsided, contributors from a wide range of countries and fields focus on how to go beyond immediate relief and begin to build social and economic structures that can serve as a foundation for continuing peace. Among the factors they consider are security, state institutions, local governance, the rule of law, infrastructure, education, health care, and environmental protection. Mozambique and Cambodia serve as case studies. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
