Business and Conflict in Fragile States

The Case for Pragmatic Solutions

Beschreibung

Large-scale investments in fragile states - in Latin America, Africa, the former Soviet Union and Asia - become magnets for conflict that undermines business, development, security, and state-building goals. Drawing on decades of experience from mainstream conflict prevention and violence reduction efforts as well as promising company practice, this book shows that even acute conflict is manageable when dealt with pragmatically, locally, and on its own terms.
