Pugh on Peacebuilding Recipes


What peacebuilding recipes have been used in the past? Professor Michael Pugh (University of Bradford) elaborates on the complexities of post-conflict political economics, and the role that donor countries often play. Through conditionalities, donors tend to determine what sort of political economy will develop in a post-conflict context. Pugh commends the increased attention for income-generation for ordinary people.
