Chapter 9 No Easy Answers.This book examines engagements with financial services in contexts of conflict. Using Liberia and the Democratic Republic of the Congo as case studies, it explores informal financial and business strategies and how these shift during conflict. Through a combination of regression analyses and panel data modeling with fixed effects, the project research indicates that conflict has a stronger effect on the nature of demand for credit and savings services than it has on the actual performance of financial institutions. In examining these patterns, the importance of networks and family becomes increasingly important—not just in the ways they are important to us as individuals, but as important determinants of post-war outcomes. .Economic developmentSocial changeAfrica—Politics and governmentEconomic development projects—FinancePeaceTerrorismPolitical violenceDevelopment and Social Changehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/913030African Politicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911090Development Financehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/625000Conflict Studieshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/912060Terrorism and Political Violencehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/912090Economic development.Social change.Africa—Politics and government.Economic development projects—Finance.Peace.Terrorism.Political violence.Development and Social Change.African Politics.Development Finance.Conflict Studies.Terrorism and Political Violence.332.109689405Smith-Omomo Juliaauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1063373BOOK9910338056703321African Indigenous Financial Institutions2531990UNINA
