Summary:

During the 1990s the drive of liberal peace efforts in the form of humanitarian intervention transformed the ways in which traditional development assistance operated in war and post-war situations. From Somalia and Rwanda to Bosnia and Sri Lanka, conflict, security and development became more intertwined as more integrated programmes were advocated by the international community.

Conflict and Development traces the evolution of this conflict and development agenda and explores the politics of aid and policy making in relation to international conflict. By taking a combined approach of theory, policy and practice, through concise thematic chapters, this vital new book explores and comprehensively explains the impact of conflict on development and development on conflict.
