Abstract
AbstractThis chapter sheds light on the impact of violent interdependencies on social policy dynamics in different settings. Concretely, it elucidates the effects and underlying causal mechanisms between war and colonialism on the one hand and social policies on the other hand. This chapter provides a brief overview of current research and serves as a background for the following chapters of Part I, which examine concrete effects of war and colonialism on specific social policies around the world.
