There is often a lag of years before moving from humanitarian relief to real economic development. By the time such help actually arrives, it is often too late: war has been re-ignited.
国际社会，特别是美国，在第三阶段的表现简直糟糕透顶。一旦战争结束，援助机构似乎就变得束手无策。他们送去的不是援助，而是派去调研小组。通常从人道主义援助到真正的经济建设需要花去几年的时间。等援助真正到位的时候常常已经太迟了：战火已经被再次点燃。
