“…Interaction between the state and the bureaucracy is considered positively in the vision of government as centralised and single-minded in the pursuit of industrial development. Key economic bureaucrats located the Second Development Plan, associated with reconstruction, in the victorious Nigerian state’s centralised control of the economy (Awotona, 1992; P. Lewis, 2010, p. 135).…”

“…There was a subordination of political governance and social factors to economic developmental priorities. In a pattern that buttresses debates about the incongruence between state security and human security, Awotona (1992) and Nafziger (1972) show how reconstruction efforts failed to take into account needs in the war-affected East due to poor planning and exclusion of voices in war-affected regions and wider inequality and poverty realities.…”

Post-conflict reconstruction (PCR) has come away from a dynamic reading of the role of the state within contemporary reflections on peacebuilding. This article introduces the framework of developmental PCR that draws on the developmental state paradigm to offer a lens for understanding the role of the state and its complex interlinkages with other milieus such as the market in PCR. Developmental PCR is premised on three tenets: interdependence between economic development and security; the importance of state–market interdependencies within industrial development, as reconstruction; and how characterisations of statehood interact with reconstruction. The deployment of developmental PCR in the case study of the Nigerian Civil War illuminates certain realities such as the significance of economic nationalism to security, complex interdependencies across the state and market that underpinned key elements of industrial policy during reconstruction, and the nuances in the characterisation of the Nigerian state as strong on account of military regimes.

“…Mobilisation of local labour and local building materials in housing reconstruction enhance the local economic development. The need to respond quickly to an emergency situation neglected the objective of maximising the community linkages (Awotona, 1992). As social networks are essential to peace, such networks that destroyed by the conflict must be built through housing reconstruction.…”

Purpose: Post conflict housing reconstruction is crucial to development and peacekeeping. However, the success of it is hindered by a number of problems related to lack of addressing housing needs. This paper explores how such housing needs can be effectively managed in post conflict housing reconstruction in Sri Lanka.Design: Using the grounded theory method as the research strategy, unstructured interviews were conducted with policy makers, practitioners, beneficiaries and academics in Sri Lanka. Data were analysed using open, axial and selective coding to develop the theoretical framework. Findings:The study reveals the challenges, contributing factors and strategies in addressing housing needs of accessibility, habitability, affordability, location, facilities, cultural considerations and security of land tenure. It also identifies the gaps and recommendations. The paper establishes the links between these and presents a theoretical framework for managing housing needs effectively in post conflict housing reconstruction in Sri Lanka.Implications: This research enhances the success of post conflict housing reconstruction through addressing housing needs effectively, which contributes to sustainable housing development after conflicts. Originality:The study combines literature from five main areas: conflicts, post conflict, post conflict reconstruction, post conflict housing reconstruction and housing needs and provides a better understanding on how the housing needs can be managed during post conflict housing reconstruction in developing countries based on empirical evidence.
