Rebuilding War-Torn States The Challenge of Post-Conflict Economic Reconstruction

"This book argues that any strategy for post-conflict economic reconstruction must be based on six premises and examines specific post-conflict reconstruction experiences to identify not only where these premises have been disregarded, but also where policies have worked, and the specific conditions that have influenced their success and failure."--BOOK JACKET.
