Foreign aid and post-conflict reconstruction.

Foreign aid and post-conflict reconstruction. - 161 p.

Thesis (Ph.D.)--Stanford University, 2008.

Why are some governments better than others at rebuilding their states in the aftermath of civil war? Existing arguments typically propose that post-conflict reconstruction is more likely when governments receive enough aid to offset the devastation from conflict. The analysis reported here shows that multilateral aid helps resource-poor states, but not their resource-rich counterparts, because resource-poor states face stronger incentives to use aid well. Drawing on data on compliance with donor-required reforms collected by the World Bank's internal auditing group, this paper also demonstrates that institutional reform is a mechanism for post-conflict reconstruction. Moreover, the data are consistent with the expectation that multilateral donors condition aid on the extent of reform. None of these results hold for bilateral aid, which has a negative impact on post-conflict reconstruction, similar to that of natural-resource rents. Case studies show the predicted mechanisms at work in two resource-poor states, Mozambique and Uganda, and two resource-rich states, Angola and the Central African Republic (CAR). This case selection provides an opportunity to compare postwar stability in cases where conflict terminated similarly but resource bases were vastly different.
