Investment in post-conflict: institutional strengthening and reconstruction of social capital
Abstract
With the end of Cold War, intra state civil conflicts grew in number, length and intensity; demanding a new priority scheme in the objectives of international agents interested in postconflict reconstruction. An appropriate diagnose of investment dynamics, and the response of private sector to the efforts made in this regard by both local and international institutions, is a core issue in order to optimize the reconstruction process of the economic and political life in post-conflict scenarios. This document explores those dynamics focusing on the core variables that define the enabling environment to strengthen institutions and building social capital, grouping them into 4 categories known to be essential in the effort to avoid cyclical violence in civil conflicts. These variables: Socioeconomic Stability; Infrastructure; Public Engagement and Institutional Consolidation are central to a proposed model of organization and optimization for resource allocation in peace building efforts.Downloads
