Implications of armed conflicts
War is one of the most devastating and most dangerous contributors to the downfall of a countries economy. In many parts of the world where there is war especially in a developing country like Madagascar, war causes more harm to both the citizens and the economy of the country since it kills the already established peace and destroys infrastructure (Call, 2012). Forced migrations, refugee problems which now become long term and the death are the final outcome of any armed conflicts. Civil wars have devastating levels of damage and the consequences of developments are just but profound. The everyday activities of a community and the country, in general, come to a standstill since the war cannot allow people to be busy building the economy of a country (Goldstone et al., 2012). When there are too many people who have been left homeless, then there is no way there can be labor force to work on any development projects which might come after the war has ended.
The government can also decide that the available resources can be used to bring peace in the country and these means that there will be no developments in terms of infrastructure. Collapsing of the buildings, infrastructural models, health and education systems due to the heavy machinery used to fight off the enemy. Developed nations are at a lower risk of experiencing the effects of such kind of armed conflicts since they have rules and regulations which govern the country and restrict people from using such forces (Goldstone et al., 2012). Developed nation have an advantage in terms of the laws which do not allow handling of firearms illegally or the military actions which can lead to conflicts. Protection by the law is highly done by the developed nations; therefore, cases of armed conflicts are rare.
