High revenues and long-term investment make extractive industries attractive partners for poor countries seeking development. But formulating a sustainable strategy remains a challenge in the best of circumstances, and can be an urgent part of solidifying peace in fragile post-conflict environments.

And Siri Aas Rustad, Päivi Lujala and Philippe Le Billon examine the challenges of peacebuilding in resource-rich post-conflict states.
