War in the Crimea?
• Clear that Russia wants some of Ukraine for some reason.
– Where will West/Kiev draw the line?
• Taking more risks conflict.
• But will also pay more if it does not.

Background
• Lots of attention on interstate conflict.
• Not much on intrastate conflict.
• World Bank: We care about development… maybe we should care about civil war?

The Result
• Breaking the Conflict Trap
– 1669 citations on Google Scholar
– Fearon 1995: 2039 citations

Main Idea
• Civil war is “development in reverse”
– Stops production in useful industries
– Ramps up production in war making
– Way, way worse than the costs of war make it seem

Costs of War
• Military expenditures as a percentage of GDP during peacetimes: 2.8%
• Military expenditures as a percentage of GDP during peacetimes: 5.0%
– Stats are for developing countries only.

Costs of War
• Expenditures do not immediately return to peacetime levels following conflict.

Costs of War
• Major targets for military operations are: – Telecommunications
– Roads/Bridges
– Airports
– Ports
• Basically, anything you need for an effective economy.

Humanitarian Problems
• Public health? What public health?
• Food, water harder to obtain.
• Mortality rates spike.

Investment Problems
• Discount factors plummet.
– Less incentive to invest.
– Less investment => smaller GDP growth

Money Vacuum
• Lawlessness increases.
• Less incentive to keep money at home.
– Safer option: invest money abroad.

Money Vacuum
• Before war: 9% of money invested abroad
• During war: 20% of money invested abroad
• Persists after war ends

PTSD
• It is bad.

Culture of Violence
• Individuals growing up in war-torn countries adopt more aggressive behaviors.
– Could we use a sport with a lot of foreign athletes and measurements of violence to check this?

Culture of Violence
• Effect does not exist for players who grew up in countries that had just finished a civil war.

TL;DR
• War really kills your economy for the long term.
– 2.2% decline in GDP

Opportunity Cost
• Fighting entails risks.
• If things are really bad for you, they can’t get much worse.

Stuck in the Trap
• Given the cyclical nature of the trap, it is difficult to break.
• World Bank therefore has recommendations on how external actors can help.

• Stop war.
• Increase economic outcomes by reducing war’s inefficiency.

NO MORE TALKING

The Game
• You are playing against everyone else in the room.
• You have two choices: attack or not attack.
![Page 41: THE CONFLICT TRAP - WordPress.com · 2014-03-04 · Leftovers 2. The Conflict Trap 3. Breaking the Conflict Trap . Background •Lots of attention on interstate conflict. •Not much](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062602/5f01c6787e708231d400f978/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
The Game
• If neither person attacks, you both receive $2.
• If both attack, you both receive $1. (War is costly.)
• If one attacks and the other does not, the attacker receive $3 and the other receives $0.

The Game
• If neither person attacks, you both receive $2.
• If both attack, you both receive $1. (War is costly.)
• If one attacks and the other does not, the attacker receive $1.50 and the other receives $0.

Suppose Opponent Attacks…
• If neither person attacks, you both receive $2.
• If both attack, you both receive $1. (War is costly.)
• If one attacks and the other does not, the attacker receive $3 and the other receives $0.

Suppose Opponent Defends…
• If neither person attacks, you both receive $2.
• If both attack, you both receive $1. (War is costly.)
• If one attacks and the other does not, the attacker receive $3 and the other receives $0.

Result
• Regardless of opponent’s choice, you are better off attacking.
• Both attack, both receive $1.
– Mutually worse than both not attacking and both receiving $2.

Result
• It’s a guessing game.
– You want to attack if the other guy attacks.
– You want to defend if the other guy defends.
• Your choice depends on what you think others will do.
![Page 52: THE CONFLICT TRAP - WordPress.com · 2014-03-04 · Leftovers 2. The Conflict Trap 3. Breaking the Conflict Trap . Background •Lots of attention on interstate conflict. •Not much](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062602/5f01c6787e708231d400f978/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
The Key Difference
• Attacking a defending opponent was worth $3 originally but only $1.50 the second time.
– Peace is therefore sustainable if you can make first strikes less appealing.

Making the Difference
• Peacekeepers often stand in between warring parties (literally). Why?
• Institutions often seek to pinpoint who instigated conflict. Why?
