Economy of Conflict: Case Study on the DRC
Adamovič, Ján ; Kváča, Vladimír (advisor) ; Pavlicová, Vendula (referee)
This study deals with the economic dimensions of the modern civil wars. These dimensions provide us with better understanding of the inner dynamics of civil wars. Main purpose is to show that economic life doesn`t stop to exist during war, nor is it totally destroyed. Rather it`s being transformed. This theoretical definition is then applied on the Second Congo War which emerged on the debris of Mobutu Sese Seko`s shadow state. The conflict in the DRC was highly concentrated on natural resources which consequently helped financing the war itself. When the war got into the militarily stalemate situation, fights went on owing to economic incentives to continue. The war in DRC changed life on each level of society. Although GDP per capital was drastically decreasing , economic life didn`t stop and transformed. For population it was rather constant copying with the war situation. These results have also implications for postconflict reconstruction.
