Zusatztext "I view the key analytical point as focusing on the power of on-the-ground expectations to make the reconstruction 'game' either a cooperative or combative one. This is a difficult variable to control! but Chris offers a very good look at the best and worst attempts that the United States has made to manipulate these variables and thus export democracy. If you want to know why the Solow model doesn't seem to hold for Bosnia! or a deeper more analytic sense of why Iraq has been a mess! this is the place to go." Informationen zum Autor Christopher J. Coyne is Assistant Professor, Department of Economics, West Virginia University, a Research Fellow at the Mercatus Center, and an Associate Editor for the Review of Austrian Economics . He has published articles in numerous scholarly journals, including Cato Journal , Constitutional Political Economy , Economic Journal , Journal of Economic Behavior and Organization , Kyklos , and Review of Political Economy . Klappentext Post-conflict reconstruction is one of the most pressing political issues today. This book uses economics to analyze critically the incentives and constraints faced by various actors involved in reconstruction efforts. Through this analysis, the book will aid in understanding why some reconstructions are more successful than others.
