The World Bank is writing it’s 2011 World Development Report on conflict this year. And, possibly for the first time, the WDR has a blog.
Interesting posts:
- A conspiracy of violence in Nairobi’s slums (wish I could stream the video live here in Kampala)
- Nigel Robert’s musings on Israel and Palestine
- Their call for ideas and proposals
Chris, I *strongly* recommend the following book on economic development, including violence and conflict: Violence and Social Orders: A Conceptual Framework for Interpreting Recorded Human History, by Douglass North, John Wallis and Barry Weingast (Cambridge University Press, 2009). It contains some of the most cutting-edge findings in the political economy of development, as well as many great insights that I am sure would inform your work.
Best regards
