Abstract
Development or transition economists are generally not part of the interdisciplinary team of clinicians, historians and diplomats that engage in ethno-national social change management. A model is presented that now includes an economist in a specific sub-species of social change management, namely, ethnonational conflict resolution. A SOCS model that considers the Situation, Options, Consequences and Simulation of the best option chosen has been deployed to link non-economic decision making to economic decision making using observations of variations in human development in the face of such macroeconomic issues as external debt, corruption, economic freedom and rate of growth of GDP. Interdisciplinary conflict resolution teams can therefore have a frame to guide their respective but interdependent efforts in ethnonational conflict resolution. This SOCS decision model with a mathematical correlate is decisively a practitioner scholar's praxis and not part of a hypothesis-driven verification research intervention.
