Minimalist economic management, deferred revenue regime and aid dependency: Explaining contradictory post‐war statebuilding aims

open access: yesGlobal Policy, Volume 15, Issue 5, Page 869-885, November 2024.
Abstract The paper analyses a contradiction in the liberal approach to post‐war statebuilding. The form of the state is seen to aim for the establishment of a centralised maximalist administration when the state's de jure economic policy makes its revenue dependant on market‐generated private sector taxes that are either inadequate or its institutions ...
