      abstract = {This study introduces the post-war economic regenerative dynamics (PWERD) hypothesis, a novel theoretical framework designed to provide comprehensive understanding of processes of economic rebuilding and sustainable growth in post-conflict economies. Unlike conventional post-war recovery approaches that emphasize physical infrastructure reconstruction and restoration, PWERD argues that sustainable economic recovery requires dynamic and synergistic interplay of four core regenerative pillars: institutional reconstruction, human capital development, infrastructural and technological rebuilding, and trust-based economic integration. Post-war economic regenerative dynamics draws on and extends into multiple theoretical perspectives. The hypothesis provides multidimensional lens for understanding post-war recovery and proposes empirical design to guide future research and for discussions on broader theoretical and practical interventions for conflict and economic recovery policies.},
