      Intelligent trade and aid policy towards the developing world, avers the introduction to this volume, can serve to break the links between natural resource dependency and conflict, but failed trade policy can increase inequality and weaken government and failed trade policy can open up markets to conflict resources, increase instability, and contribute to corruption and failures of government, thereby helping to fuel instability and conflict. The editors of the volume (two of the International Institute for Communication and Development, two of the International Union for the Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources, and one a former Minister of Foreign Affairs of Canada) present six papers that explore these issues in more detail, discussing how to design "conflict-sensitive" aid policy, the linkages between governance and trade and aid policy, the role of trade liberalization in expanding conflict resources and illegal products, the activities of extractive companies and the international financial institutions in fragile and war-torn states, and examples of unsuccessful revenue deployment such as Algeria and Iraq and more successful examples such as Botswana and Mozambique.
