Abstract

This paper evaluates the role played by economic incentives in the onset and perpetuation of complex emergencies and their significance in relation to other factors. Conflict analysis highlights the complexities of short-term and long-term interventions needed to stabilize a region that has been devastated by civil armed conflict. Evidence suggests that disrupting existing economic incentives is a required but insufficient condition to restore order and maintain long term peace.
