Institutions of economic growth in a peacebuilding environment

Abstract

In this paper I attempt to give a conceptualization of economic governance in peacebuilding operations through institutions of economic growth. Therefore, this work is based on a fusion of institutional economics and sociology of peace processes. Economic development and welfare is a crucial factor of political stability, since most current conflicts have economic incentives. Economic governance is based on institutions, thus institutions – mostly those of economic growth, such as property rights - have a key role in post-conflict reconstruction. Here I develop a framework how to use institutions in such a project. This gives a logical guideline and some contradictions alike.
