Ethnic divisions and political or economic challenges can make it harder to build peace and foster development but history demonstrates that these barriers have been overcome before, and they can be again. Read about Faculty Affiliate @saumjha.bsky.social's research via @voxdev.bsky.social.
Many poor, ethnically divided societies are caught in an ‘ethnic growth trap’, where conflict, low public investment, and political economy dynamics reinforce each other, hindering development.

It’s been a really tough day for anyone with family and friends in South Asia as the lights go out and people appear to be preparing for war. Our dog Kaylo seems to have sensed this and established a new kennel spot under my desk. The chances for miscalculation are just too high.
