Amartya Sen, the economist and philosopher, defines entitlement as command over resources that permits a household to have access to essential goods and services to sustain life within legal and established social norms and practices. Entitlement failure occurs when a household's command over all available combinations of resources does not ensure sufficient provisions of food to avoid starvation. This paper provides an overview of the literature on causal relations between civil war and household entitlements. It suggests a conceptual framework for empirically analysing the ramifications of armed political conflict on household entitlements. In addition, it develops a composite index as a tool to investigate the effect of civil war on household entitlements and to guide policy in the context of conflict-related international humanitarian interventions. The paper's key contribution is to suggest an empirical framework for quantitative measurement of the impact of civil war on household entitlements and to improve targeting criteria in post-conflict rehabilitation efforts.
阿玛蒂亚·森（Amartya Sen）是一位经济学家和哲学家，他将权利定义为对资源的支配，这种支配使家庭能够获得基本的商品和服务，以维持在法律和既定社会规范和惯例内的生活。当家庭对所有可用资源组合的支配权不能确保提供足够的食物以避免饥饿时，就会出现权利失败。本文概述了关于内战与家庭权利之间因果关系的文献。它提出了一个概念框架，用于实证分析武装政治冲突对家庭权利的影响。此外，本文还开发了一个综合指数，作为一种工具来调查内战对家庭权利的影响，并在与冲突相关的国际人道主义干预背景下指导政策。本文的主要贡献在于提出了一个实证框架，用于量化测量内战对家庭权利的影响，并改进冲突后恢复工作中的目标设定标准。
