本文认为，如果一个国家处于冲突后，相对于其他同样贫穷但和平的国家，经济政策可能需要与众不同。目标可能应该与众不同，因为冲突的风险通常要高得多。我认为，适当的应对措施是为年轻人创造就业机会，并大幅削减军事开支。政治机遇可能与众不同，因为改革可能比其他时候更容易。经济机会可能是与众不同的，因为冲突扭曲了经济结构。因此，经济发展的标准方法往往不适用，但政府制定量身定制的解决方案的能力非常有限。
This paper considers why economic policies may need to be distinctive if a country is post-conflict relative to others which are equally poor but peaceful. Objectives should probably be distinctive because the risk of conflict is typically much higher. I argue that appropriate responses are job creation for young men, and deep cuts in military spending. Political opportunities are likely to be distinctive because reform may be easier than at other times. Economic opportunities are likely to be distinctive because conflict distorts the structure of the economy. Standard approaches to economic development are therefore often inapplicable, yet the capacity of government to devise tailored solutions is very limited.
