ABSTRACT
Governance has emerged as one of the most important concepts in developing countries aiming to achieve sustainable economic development. This chapter focuses on highlighting the most critical features of governance during post-conflict reconstruction. By using Yemen as a case study, it finds that political stability, absence of violence, government effectiveness, and government integrity are the most sensitive variables that can hinder or advance the overall progress of the economic and governance indicators, institutional strength, and economic quality. The chapter proposes a post-conflict reconstruction framework for the government of Yemen that begins by ending the conflict and advancing peace dialogue, then moving to improving the safety and security of the Yemeni people, supporting justice and reconciliation organizations, and stabilizing and growing the economy.
