Asserts that development policies prove central to peacebuilding and stability efforts in West Africa, giving economic and social development a critical role to play in reducing tensions linked to grievances over unmet expectations, unequal access to resources, and perceptions of exclusion. Recognition of the strong developmental dimensions of conflict often comes too late, as do attempts to mobilize the development resources and advice that accompany it. In Mali, for example, events foretold by many analysts caught development partners by surprise. In Mali, Nigeria, and elsewhere, only when the insurgency took on an unpredictable quality did they request support from development partners in (1) improving citizen security, (2) combating urban violence, and (3) reducing the incidence of subnational conflicts.
