abstract = {This study shows that  sociopolitical conflicts measured by peace building capacity in developing countries affect physical and human capital accumulation in selected 70 developing countries from all regions of the world during 2000-2004 by using econometric models. We conclude that sociopolitical instability negatively and significantly effect both physical and human capital accumulation in selected countries.
