Civil war conflict is a core development issue. The existence of
civil war can dramatically slow a country's development process,
especially in low-income countries which are more vulnerable to civil
war conflict. Conversely, development can impede civil war. When
development succeeds, countries become safer—when development
fails, they experience a greater risk of being caught in a conflict
trap. Ultimately, civil war is a failure of development.
Breaking the Conflict Trap identifies the dire consequences
that civil war has on the development process and offers three main
findings. First, civil war has adverse ripple effects that are often
not taken into account by those who determine whether wars start or
end. Second, some countries are more likely than others to experience
civil war conflict and thus, the risks of civil war differ considerably
according to a country's characteristics including its economic
stability. Finally, Breaking the Conflict Trap explores viable
international measures that can be taken to reduce the global incidence
of civil war and proposes a practical agenda for action.
This book should serve as a wake up call to anyone in the
international community who still thinks that development and conflict
are distinct issues.
