Book excerpt: Almost ten years on from the official end of wars in Sierra Leone (2002) and Liberia (2003), attention is shifting from post-war peacebuilding to longer-term development. What headway has been made? What challenges lie ahead? And what lessons that can be learnt? This issue of Accord draws on experiences and perspectives from across societies in both countries to explore comparative lessons and examine progress, and argues that peacebuilding policy and practice needs to concentrate more on people: on repairing and building relationships among communities, and between communities and the state; and on developing more participatory politics and society that includes marginalised groups. It suggests that customary practices and mechanisms can help deliver essential services across a range sectors, and that local civil society can facilitate national and international policy engagement with them.

Book excerpt: This paper delves into the enduring impacts of imperialism on Liberia and Sierra Leone, investigating how foreign influence persists long after gaining independence. Despite differing colonial histories, both nations grapple with post-colonial strife, marked by recurrent civil conflicts. Liberia endured two civil wars from 1989 to 1997 and 1999 to 2003, while Sierra Leone confronted a protracted conflict from 1991 to 2002. These conflicts arose from rebellions against corrupt governance, reflecting the lingering aftermath of colonialism. Neocolonialism, propelled by multinational enterprises, exacerbates instability through resource exploitation and foreign dominance in key industries. The study dissects the multifaceted origins of instability, contemplating the roles of warlords, crony politics, and systemic development challenges. Drawing on an array of scholarly perspectives, it underscores the imperative of comprehensive post-conflict reconstruction, diminishing foreign dominance, and fostering holistic development. The analysis introduces key theoretical frameworks, advocating for reforms in land tenure, resource regulation, and the empowerment of local Civil Society Organizations (CSOs). Central to this discourse is the definition of critical terms, providing essential context for Liberia's and Sierra Leone's obstacles to progress. Neocolonialism perpetuates a cycle of dependency, sustaining governments enmeshed in crony politics. This phenomenon widens the socioeconomic divide between nations, emphasizing the urgent need for transformative solutions. Cronyism, deeply rooted in historical and modern political landscapes, feeds into clientelist networks, further entrenching societal disparities. Disputes over corruption's extent and responsibility underscore the complex web of neopatrimonial practices, defining political dynamics in these nations. Ultimately, this paper endeavors to unravel the intricate web of influences that contribute to instability in Liberia and Sierra Leone. By critically examining historical legacies, economic structures, and political practices, it seeks to illuminate pathways toward harmonious political, economic, and social spheres. The study offers a comprehensive framework for understanding and addressing the persistent challenges facing these nations, advocating for inclusive cooperation among local, national, and international stakeholders.

Download or read book Military Interventions in Sierra Leone: Lessons From a Failed State written by Larry J. Woods and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2011-03-31 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study by Larry J. Woods and Colonel Timothy R. Reese analyzes the massive turmoil afflicting the nation of Sierra Leone, 1995-2002, and the efforts by a variety of outside forces to bring lasting stability to that small country. The taxonomy of intervention ranged from private mercenary armies, through the Economic Community of West African States, to the United Nations and the United Kingdom. In every case, those who intervened encountered a common set of difficulties that had to be overcome. Unsurprisingly, they also discovered challenges unique to their own organizations and political circumstances. This cogent analysis of recent interventions in Sierra Leone represents a cautionary tale that political leaders and military planners contemplating intervention in Africa ignore at their peril.

Book excerpt: Sierra Leone and Liberia have made remarkable recoveries since their civil wars. Ban Ki Moon was in Freetown this month to bring an end to the UN Security mission and set the UN presence on a conventional development footing from 1st April 2014. In Liberia there has been a gradual drawdown of the peacekeeping mission which will approximately halve the UN military presence by 2015. However both countries remain fragile with high unemployment and concerns about corruption. The devastating Ebola outbreak in Sierra Leone and Liberia demonstrates the dangers of ignoring the least developed countries in the world. The weak state of the health system in both countries has greatly reduced the effectiveness of the response to Ebola. There is an alarming lack of capacity in the health system, including a shortage of skilled clinicians.The Committee have determined that the scale of the Ebola crisis now unfolding in Sierra Leone and Liberia, may well be connected to declining levels of international support for health system improvements in what remain two of the poorest and least developed countries in the world.

Book excerpt: 개발원조와 빈곤퇴치라는 국제적 이슈에 대한 이해를 돕고자 하는 『Introduction to International Development Cooperation』은 세 측면에서 논의를 진행하고 있다. 첫째, 빈곤문제와 대외원조문제가 어떻게 해서 세계적인 주요 의제로 떠올랐는지를 규명하고자 한다. 이를 위해 역사적인 맥락을 먼저 살피는데 제2차 세계대전부터 시작된 대외원조의 변화 추이를 원조국과 수혜국의 입장에서 분석한다. 둘째는, 지난 50여 년간 국제사회가 이룩한 구호활동과 빈곤퇴치 등의 업적을 객관적으로 평가하고 앞으로 해결해야 할 과제들을 고찰한다. 끝으로, 그간 국제사회의 이러한 활동에는 여러 복잡한 문제와 관행, 그리고 여러 계층의 사람들이 관여하게 되어 도정되는 문제들도 있었다. 이러한 문제해결을 위한 글로벌거버넌스 프레임 워크 구축은 매우 중요하며, 대외원조 효과를 극대화하기 위해서는 여러 관계자 간의 협력 네트워크 구축이 필요함을 강조한다.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Liberia, a small West African country that has been wracked by violence and civil war since 1989, seems a paradoxical place in which to examine questions of democracy and popular participation. Yet Liberia is also the oldest republic in Africa, having become independent in 1847 after colonization by an American philanthropic organization as a refuge for "Free People of Color" from the United States. Many analysts have attributed the violent upheaval and state collapse Liberia experienced in the 1980s and 1990s to a lack of democratic institutions and long-standing patterns of autocracy, secrecy, and lack of transparency. Liberia: The Violence of Democracy is a response, from an anthropological perspective, to the literature on neopatrimonialism in Africa. Mary H. Moran argues that democracy is not a foreign import into Africa but that essential aspects of what we in the West consider democratic values are part of the indigenous African traditions of legitimacy and political process. In the case of Liberia, these democratic traditions include institutionalized checks and balances operating at the local level that allow for the voices of structural subordinates (women and younger men) to be heard and be effective in making claims. Moran maintains that the violence and state collapse that have beset Liberia and the surrounding region in the past two decades cannot be attributed to ancient tribal hatreds or neopatrimonial leaders who are simply a modern version of traditional chiefs. Rather, democracy and violence are intersecting themes in Liberian history that have manifested themselves in numerous contexts over the years. Moran challenges many assumptions about Africa as a continent and speaks in an impassioned voice about the meanings of democracy and violence within Liberia.

This book was released on 2016-12-30 with total page 137 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The most recent Ebola epidemic that began in late 2013 alerted the entire world to the gaps in infectious disease emergency preparedness and response. The regional outbreak that progressed to a significant public health emergency of international concern (PHEIC) in a matter of months killed 11,310 and infected more than 28,616. While this outbreak bears some unique distinctions to past outbreaks, many characteristics remain the same and contributed to tragic loss of human life and unnecessary expenditure of capital: insufficient knowledge of the disease, its reservoirs, and its transmission; delayed prevention efforts and treatment; poor control of the disease in hospital settings; and inadequate community and international responses. Recognizing the opportunity to learn from the countless lessons of this epidemic, the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine convened a workshop in March 2015 to discuss the challenges to successful outbreak responses at the scientific, clinical, and global health levels. Workshop participants explored the epidemic from multiple perspectives, identified important questions about Ebola that remained unanswered, and sought to apply this understanding to the broad challenges posed by Ebola and other emerging pathogens, to prevent the international community from being taken by surprise once again in the face of these threats. This publication summarizes the presentations and discussions from the workshop.

Book excerpt: * Looks at the ways people have used sanctuary throughout history and in present-day conflicts to avoid or challenge violence * Authors with practical experience in peace zones throughout Asia, Europe, Africa and Latin America The notion of having sanctuary from violence or threat has probably existed as long as conflict itself. Whether people seek safety in a designated location, such as a church or hospital or over a regional border, or whether their professions or life situations (doctors, children) allow them, at least in theory, to avoid injury in war, sanctuary has served as a powerful symbol of non-violence. The authors of this collection examine sanctuary as it relates to historical and modern conflicts from the Philippines to Colombia and Sudan. They chart the formation and evolution of these varied "zones of peace" and attempt to arrive at a "theory of sanctuary" that might allow for new and useful peacebuilding strategies. This book makes a significant contribution to the field of conflict resolution, using case studies to highlight efforts made by local people to achieve safety and democracy amid and following violent civil wars. The authors ground the emerging interest in sanctuary by providing a much needed description of the complexity of these peace zones.

Download or read book Regional Organisations and the Development of Collective Security written by Ademola Abass and published by Hart Publishing. This book was released on 2004-12 with total page 269 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the development of collective security by regional organisations particularly after the Cold War. It analyses the various constitutional developments that have occurred within regional arrangements such as ECOWAS, African Union, SADC, OAS, and NATO and critically analyses how these developments have propelled regional organisations to depart from the normative framework of regional arrangement contained in Chapter VIII of the UN Charter. Through a comprehensive examination of practice, the book evaluates the impact of regional organisations' newly asserted powers to authorise enforcement action and determine when situations within member states warrant their intervention. It inquires into the legal justifications for these developments both from within the UN Charter and regional treaties and practice and asks whether consensual intervention, that is the use of force by regional organisations on the basis of their members' consent, contravenes or constitutes an exception to the prohibition of the use or threat of force under Article 2(4) of the Charter. The book also analyses the regime of complementarity between the UN and regional organisations.

Download or read book Regional Economic Communities and Peacebuilding in Africa written by Victor Adetula and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-12-30 with total page 183 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book outlines challenges to the effective operation of regional economic communities (RECs) with regards to peacebuilding in Africa. Critically examining these issues from an interdisciplinary perspective, with a focus on comparative analysis of the status, role, and performances of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) and Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD), it examines particular constraints to their effective participation in regional initiatives. Focussing on inadequate technical capabilities, the complicity of state and non-state actors in conflicts within a region, the domestic politics of member states, it additionally addresses related theories and practices of peacekeeping, security, development, and the peacebuilding nexus. It also engages provisioning, regionalism, and regional peacekeeping interventions, the legal and institutional framework of RECs, and civil society and peacebuilding. Fundamentally, the book asks how effective the alliances and partnerships are in promoting regional peace and security and how much they are compromised by the intervention of external powers and actors, exploring new ideas and actions that may strengthen capacities to address the peacebuilding challenges on the continent effectively. This book will be of key interest to scholars and students of African politics and studies, peace and security studies, regionalism studies, policy practitioners in the field of African peacebuilding, and more broadly to international relations.
