Facilitating economic activity in conflict zones

Bu makale, barısın, yani büyük bir ölçüde dâhilî ve harici siddetin yoklugunun, ekonomik faaliyeti arttırırken çatısmanın ise tersi etkileri oldugunun giderek kabul gördügünü savunmaktadır. Bu düzensizligi yasayan uluslar, siddet sona erene kadar ekonomik faaliyetten vazgeçmemektedir. Yine de, ticareti yönetme engelleri, çatısma bölgesi içinde diger yerlerden daha fazla bulunmaktadır. Çatısmanın yogun oldugu ülkelerde bile, bazı pozitif ekonomik faaliyetler ortaya konulmustur. Dolayısıyla hangi politikaların, eylemlerin ve teskilatların çatısma bölgelerindeki ekonomik faaliyete katkıda bulunma egiliminde oldugunun tartısılması büyük bir önem arz etmektedir. Sonuç olarak, hükümetler, sanayi, sivil toplum örgütleri ve halk bu üretken çabaları ekonomik arenada vurgulayıp çatısma bölgelerinde bazı faydalı degiskenler sunabilmektedir.

Çatısma alanlarında ekonomik faaliyetleri arttırma

This article argues that there is a growing recognition that peace -largely, the absence of internal and external violence- enhances economic activity, while conflict has the opposite effects. Nations experiencing such disorder cannot abandon economic activity until violence subsides. Nevertheless, obstacles to conducting commerce exist in conflict zones more so than elsewhere. Even in countries where conflict is extensive, some positive economic activity is exhibited. As such, it is vital to discuss which policies, activities, and organizations tend to contribute to economic activity in conflict zones. Consequently, governments, industry, nongovernmental organizations, and the populace can emphasize these productive efforts in the economic arena, and, thereby, offer some helpful variables in conflict zones.
