Abstract

Even though the global economy continues to grow and technological advancements expand horizons, over half of the world’s population experiences profound want and fear on a daily basis. The global poor are predominantly found in countries that are underdeveloped and/or conflict-affected. Traditional economics has failed to provide an analytical framework that is both appropriate and transferrable, particularly in contexts where Westphalian assumptions of statehood do not hold true. Globalization, the rise of nonstate actors, and the existence of persistent low-intensity conflict have reconfigured the geostrategic landscape. By emphasizing the use of economic principles to promote peace through the design and implementation of strategies that foster efficiency and inclusion, peace economics could provide a viable framework for the development and security of fragile states and regions. This article examines the evolution of the discipline, analyzes potential challenges posed by fragile states, and proposes six recommendations for contemporary peace economists.
不断变化的世界中的和平经济学
尽管全球经济持续增长,技术进步扩大了视野,但世界上一半以上的人口每天都经历着深刻的匮乏和恐惧。全球穷人主要分布在欠发达和/或受冲突影响的国家。传统经济学未能提供一个既合适又可转移的分析框架,尤其是在威斯特伐利亚州对国家地位的假设不成立的情况下。全球化、非国家行为者的崛起以及持续的低强度冲突的存在重新配置了地缘战略格局。通过强调利用经济原则通过设计和实施促进效率和包容性的战略来促进和平,和平经济学可以为脆弱国家和地区的发展与安全提供一个可行的框架。本文考察了该学科的演变,分析了脆弱国家带来的潜在挑战,并为当代和平经济学家提出了六项建议。
