The Business Of Reconciliation: Entrepreneurship And Commercial Activity In Post‐Conflict Rwanda

Author

Abstract

In post‐conflict Rwanda trade and enterprise are leading to increased levels of co‐operation among former enemies. Economic interaction is providing a cost‐effective alternative to state‐led reconciliation programmes as a mechanism for justice and healing. Governments seeking to provide effective transitional justice and reconciliation should therefore facilitate private‐sector efforts by actively working to improve the institutional environment for doing business.
