Description: The purpose of this study is to examine whether, when and how FDI can be attracted and utilized in post-conflict conditions to promote economic stability and development, thereby making a contribution to peace-building. Focusing on Croatia and Mozambique, this study examines questions of FDI attraction and benefits arising in post-conflict countries: What kinds and volumes of FDI inflows can be expected when conflict ends and over what time frames? What policy measures impact these outcomes? What are the key contributions of FDI, and how can these be improved by government policies and programs? Croatia and Mozambique have balanced these competing agendas effectively, thus managing to both attract and benefit from FDI in their economies. FDI has made significant contributions towards the economic growth and stability that have helped entrench peace in both countries since emerging from conflict in the early 1990s. After reviewing their experiences, the report concludes with a number of lessons for policymakers in other post-conflict countries.--Publisher's description.
