The ongoing use of landscape-based conflict commodities — diamonds and other minerals, timber, wildlife, etc. — to finance wars continues to evolve. The success with which such commodities can be transacted to support militaries, militias and insurgencies has led belligerents to innovate with additional commodities. Housing, land and property (HLP) rights within war zones have belatedly joined the list of conflict commodities that are subject to transaction, and to such an extent as to warrant significant concern.

Rapports et recherchesDocuments de politique et mémoiresdécembre, 2008Viet Nam, Asie orientale, OcéanieAfter decades of war, with a dilapidated infrastructure and millions of people dead, wounded or displaced, Vietnam could have been considered a hopeless case in economic development. Yet, it is now about to enter the ranks of middle-income countries. The obvious question is: How did this happen? This paper goes one step further, asking not which policies were adopted, but rather why they were adopted.

Identifying the Constraints to Inclusive Growth in Indonesia's Second-Largest Province
Rapports et recherchesRessources et Outils d'entraînementfévrier, 2011Indonésie, Asie orientale, OcéanieEast Java is the second largest contributor to Indonesia's economy with a growth rate similar to national level and other major provinces in Java.
