Smuggling economies make for ideal sources of funding for rebel movements. Their clandestine and peripatetic nature as well as borderland geographies are often compatible with the requirements of guerrilla war. To weaken armed resistance and pacify conflict, state actors seek to undercut lucrative smuggling operations by restricting illicit trade flows or reducing their profit margins by liberalising trade regimes. This chapter explores both such strategies through the lens of two empirical cases: US sanctions on so- called ‘conflict minerals’ in the eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo and the liberalisation of border trade in Myanmar by which the country’s generals sought to dry up smuggling revenues of rebel groups. Its findings suggest that attempts of economic pacification can increase rather than decrease violence, conflict and insecurity. This is not only because economic interventions in contexts of conflict can shift the incentives of warring factions in unforeseen ways. More importantly, economistic approaches to conflict operate on limited assumptions about the nature of political violence and consequently fail at addressing the underlying political causes of conflict.
