Description
From Sierra Leone to Tajikistan and Indonesia's Aceh Province, civil war has erupted in countries suffering from persistent poverty or sharp economic decline, further crippling fragile economies, depleting resources and claiming millions of innocent lives. In a new Brookings working paper, Susan Rice, Corinne Graff and Janet Lewis examine the link between civil war and poverty, and offer recommendations for policymakers that can bolster national security while working to alleviate the costly cycles of conflict and poverty that plague many developing countries.
