The Economics of Peace and Security

The Economics of Peace and Security explores how economic factors influence stability and conflict. When countries have strong economies, access to resources, fair opportunities, and shared prosperity can reduce tensions and prevent violence. Conversely, poverty, inequality, and resource scarcity often contribute to unrest. Investing in sustainable development and equitable growth promotes social cohesion and peace, while instability hampers economic progress. Essentially, economic well-being and security are interconnected: by fostering economic stability, societies create an environment less prone to conflict and more conducive to lasting peace.
