Wars and conflicts have shaped societies throughout human history, profoundly influencing political systems, economic development, social structures, and institutional evolution. In the post-COVID era, intensified geopolitical fragmentation and growing regional military tensions—including conflicts in Ukraine, Gaza, and parts of Africa—have renewed scholarly interest in understanding how wars and conflicts shape economic resilience, technological change, financial access, and broader socioeconomic outcomes.

This Special Issue invites cross-disciplinary contributions examining the impacts of wars and conflicts on economic trajectories from both historical and contemporary perspectives. Submissions may investigate how conflict legacies influence state formation, institutional development, culture, religion, civil society, technological progress, industrialization, demographic shifts, military structures, bureaucracy, and public policy.

The Special Issue welcomes studies that advance both theoretical and empirical understanding through quantitative, qualitative, mixed-method, conceptual, and review-based approaches.
