War Economies: Common Traits and Implications for Lasting Peace

War economies are neither a new phenomenon nor a specific feature of the Global South. After the formal end of confrontations, war economies do not necessarily cease to exist. The chapter describes different types of war economies and discusses their implications for building lasting peace in transitional societies.

War Economies and Postwar Crime

Even when armed conflicts formally end, the transition to peace is not clear-cut. In this project, we focus on an understudied factor in shaping post-war crime: war economies. This encompasses the organisation and development of a society’s legal and illegal resource flows in support or as a result of conflict and violence.
