Description

Explaining Post-conflict Reconstruction by Desha M. Girod offers a unique perspective on why some countries successfully rebuild after civil war, while others struggle to recover. The international community has invested nearly one trillion dollars in post-conflict reconstruction over the past four decades, yet many countries have failed to make progress. This book sheds light on the factors that contribute to successful or unsuccessful reconstruction, including the role of leaders' desperation for income and the influence of donor interests. Girod's analysis draws on data from civil wars between 1970 and 2009, as well as evidence from both successful and failed cases of post-conflict reconstruction. The findings have important implications for theory and policy, highlighting the challenges faced by donors in achieving their goals in countries with limited stakes.
