Abstract
The concept of Expeditionary Economics (ExpECON) was introduced
in 2010 in a path-breaking article in the May/June 2010 issue of Foreign
Affairs, “Expeditionary Economics: Spurring Growth After Conflicts
and Disasters”, by then Kauffman Institute President and CEO Carl
Schramm. In that article, Schramm put forth the proposition that economic
growth is vital for stabilizing post-conflict/disaster settings, and
the U.S. military, as often the dominant player in these environments,
must sharpen its ability to encourage indigenous entrepreneurship. It
was Schramm’s contention that the conventional U.S. approach in recent
post-conflict recoveries (Dobbins et al., 2007) has failed largely because it
has abandoned the approach that was so successful in building the U.S.
economy – the encouragement and support of indigenous entrepreneurial
initiative and creativity (Schramm, 2010, 2010a).
