Abstract
Abstract A framework outlining the potential impacts of conflict on demographic behaviour is used to analyse the post-conflict demography of Malian Tuareg after substantial conflict-induced social, political and economic changes. A remarkable stability in both fertility and marriage leads to the conclusion that an important demographic consequence of persecution and conflict may be an entrenchment of demographic behaviour which reinforces the population’s demographic identity particularly with respect to reproduction. The importance of unique historical, political and cultural experiences of a population in responding to conflict precludes the development of a ‘demography of conflict’, suggesting we should be pursuing the ‘demography of conflicts’.

The predominant western stereotype of inbreeding is of a poor and remote community, a large proportion of whose inhabitants suffer from obscure physical disorders and exhibit obvious symptoms of mental subnormality, but isolated, inbred communities occasionally have been documented.

Evidence of a wartime drop and a postwar rebound in fertility is found, but these trends vary greatly, depending on the type and degree of exposure to war and on women’s socioeconomic characteristics.

This paper is focused on demographic responses to famine in South Asia and finds a clear pattern to proportional increases in mortality by age - in these terms older children and adults were hardest hit.

The findings show that the fertility transition has been well underway in the West Bank since 1985, with a lull during the Intifada period, and the recent rise in fertility is essentially due to changes in marital structure, but also to increased fertility within marriage among younger women.

The Hawaweer, a nomadic, pastoralist group in northern Sudan, were seriously affected by the drought in the Sahel during the mid-1980s and their experience illustrates the connection between internally displaced people, normal mobility, forced migration, dilemmas and opportunities of return and how new livelihoods can be successfully constructed based on traditional rights, strong local institutions and external resources.

The findings confirm that in societies with early/universal marital patterns, initial demographic change is confined to nuptiality while fertility may be rising for decades, and two sets of causes of the shift to a later nuptials pattern are examined.
