War, Conflict and Development
These articles on the challenges of development in post-war or post-conflict societies offer an opportunity to engage critically with the issue from a viewpoint that embraces politically contextualised and non-paradigmatic approaches to war and conflict. At the same time, they underline the importance of exceeding it to enable the recovery of other political, economic and social problematics. Such an approach is a necessary first step in reimagining dominant approaches to development in the context of war and transitions and setting really transformative agendas.
This special collection brings together six papers from across South Asia presented at an international symposium titled "Challenges of Post-War Development in Asia and Africa" convened by the Centre for Poverty Analysis, Sri Lanka, in collaboration with the Secure Livelihoods Research Consortium from 1 to 3 September 2014 in Colombo.
