ABSTRACT
What does social science literature tell us about economic incentives for peacebuilding? A variety of such incentives exists in post-civil war situations. This synthesis reviews academic research on economic incentives for peace that relates to foreign aid and state-building, to allocations to conflict-affected groups such as ex-soldiers and war victims, and to aid coordination. It also identifies implications from this literature for peacebuilding policy.
