This study critically examines the range of policies and programmes that attempt to manage economic activity that contributes to political violence. Beginning with an overview of over a dozen policies aimed at transforming these activities into economic relationships which support peace, not war, the book then offers a sustained critique of the reasons for limited success in this policy field.
Introduction : war economies, peace economies and transformation -- War economy transformation : current policy options and issues -- Explaining the dynamics of transformation : the nature of the development-security industry -- Transforming a war economy : learning from the case of Kosovo -- Strengthening the rule of law : managing the criminal facets of war economies -- Privatisation : liberal reform and the creation of new conflict economies -- Customs reform : protecting borders, confirming statehood and transforming economies? -- The war economy transformation agenda : DSI approaches and behaviours.
