Abstract

Historically, peace and security have been important issues in economics. Yet for contemporary economics, issues of peace and security are marginal, and economists are conspicuous by their absence in debates to a degree that rivals the importance of the problems. Strikingly, economics textbooks in general, and development economics textbooks in particular, seldom give consideration to violent conflicts despite the dreadful impact they have on populations in the very poorest of countries. Similarly, they seldom deal with issues of peace and post-war reconstruction despite their importance for successful development. This article reviews some achievements within the economics of peace and security field and considers how our understanding of the preparation for violent conflict and the determinants and costs of conflict has been improved by research and what this might entail for some of the challenges ahead. In particular, the article identifies the challenge of constructing a peace economics that will allow for the design of economic systems that embed peace and overcome many of the conditions that continue to maintain the prevalence of violent conflict around the world.
战争、和平与发展
从历史上看,和平与安全一直是经济学中的重要问题。然而,对于当代经济学来说,和平与安全问题是微不足道的,经济学家在辩论中的缺席程度足以与这些问题的重要性相媲美。引人注目的是,尽管暴力冲突对最贫穷国家的人口产生了可怕的影响,但一般经济学教科书,特别是发展经济学教科书很少考虑暴力冲突。同样,它们很少处理和平和战后重建问题,尽管这些问题对成功发展很重要。本文回顾了和平与安全经济学领域的一些成就,并考虑了我们对暴力冲突的准备以及冲突的决定因素和代价的理解是如何通过研究得到改善的,以及这可能会对未来的一些挑战产生什么影响。文章特别指出了构建和平经济学的挑战,该经济学将允许设计嵌入和平的经济体系,并克服继续维持世界各地暴力冲突普遍存在的许多条件。
