More DescriptionThis Pardee Center Task Force Report on Remittance Flows to Post-Conflict States is the outcome of an interdisciplinary research project organized by the Boston University Center for Finance, Law & Policy, in collaboration with The Frederick S. Pardee Center for the Study of the Longer-Range Future. Convened by Boston University development economist John R. Harris and international banking expert Donald F. Terry, the Task Force was asked to research, analyze, and propose policy recommendations regarding the role of remittances in post-conflict environments and their potential to serve as a major source of development funds. The report's authors collectively suggest a broader approach to remittance institutions that provides flexibility to adapt to specific local practices and to make broader institutional connections in an era of growing population displacement and expanding human and capital flows. Conditions for more productive use of migrants' remittances are analyzed while drawing upon case studies from post-conflict countries in Africa, Asia and Latin America.
