Abstract
Conflicts funded by lootable natural resources complicate the political economy of war, and transitions to peace. Globalization has provided an outlet for the sale of illicitly obtained local resources by state and non-state actors. These same global outlets in turn supply military groups with weapons. The absence of functional institutions in conflict areas, and systems of governance without prospects for furthering economic development have allowed the formation of war economies marked by violent appropriation of local resources. Academic thought on peacebuilding and development needs the kind of critical analysis offered in this issue.
