“…It appears as if with the preceding, serious destruction of assets and markets, the stimulating effect of aid on rural supply mechanisms outweighs the negative effects of aid on incentives and prices. This argument has also been extended to the macro-economic level for Mozambique where it was found that macroeconomic aid indices a supply response which outweighs the Dutch disease effects of aid (Brück et al 2000).…”

This research report analyses the welfare effects of rural household coping strategies in postwar Mozambique. In addition, it considers appropriate government and donor policies to assist poor, war-affected farm households. The report discusses the expected theoretical effects of war on smallholder labour, asset, and social capital endowments and thus on household welfare. In addition, it considers the effects of war on land use and marketparticipation decisions by households and the impact of these choices on post-war household welfare.

Try Again, Fail Again, Fail Better? War, the State, and the ‘Post–Conflict’ Challenge in Afghanistan

This article investigates the challenges currently facing Afghanistan. It argues that 'post-conflict' peace and reconstruction in Afghanistan may depend on a dramatic expansion of institutionalized economic interdependence: this will not necessarily require obeisance to standard international policy paradigms and it will have to draw on existing patterns of interdependence, even though many of these are rooted in brutally exploitative war economy conditions. The authors argue further that neither peace nor economic development will hold without a centralized, credible and effective state, that the emergence of such a state is a political problem more than a technical problem, and that it will depend on a monopolization of force by the state. Such developments cannot be envisaged without policy being based on a close reading of the long and decidedly non-linear, conflictual experiences in state formation and failure in Afghanistan, a history whose patterns and implications are summarized in this article.

“…Production plummeted, rural primary schools were forced to close down, health services shrank, and the country began to default on debt repayments. From 1975 to 1987, the per capita incomes declined by nearly twothirds (Bruck et al, 2000). The country's infrastructure-roads, bridges, railways, and sugar mills-were severely damaged and about 1.5 million landmines remained scattered throughout the country (Morgan and Mvududu, 2000).…”
