Abstract
Since the mid-1990s academics and policymakers have become increasingly concerned to understand the political economy of contemporary (so-called) ‘civil conflicts’, particularly given the way in which groups such as the Revolutionary United Front in Sierra Leone and the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia have traded resources to fund conflict. The advent of the UN’s Peacebuilding Commission, formally inaugurated in July 2006, also testifies to a growing international interest in reconstruction and conflict transformation.
