The paper provides an overview of the economic literature on conflicts and post-war reconstruction since the end of the Cold War. The author argues that despite the enormous human and economic costs of war in the developing world, the contributions of economists to research in this area are still surprisingly sparse and limited, even if commitment to remedying this has been increasing. Substantial effort and innovative approaches are thus required to cope more effectively with the challenges of socioeconomic rebuilding.
