Emerging Patterns in Liberia's Post-Conflict Politics / Amos Sawyer in African Affairs, Vol. 107/427 (2008)
[article]
Titre : Emerging Patterns in Liberia's Post-Conflict Politics : Observations from the 2005 Elections Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Amos Sawyer, Auteur Année de publication : 2008 Article en page(s) : pp. 177-199. Langues : Anglais (eng) Résumé : The 2005 elections were the first Liberian elections in over a century in which the political environment was controlled neither by the settler oligarchy nor, latterly, by the dictators Samuel Doe and Charles Taylor. Observers feared that the post-conflict environment was not conducive to holding elections and that a serious programme of reconciliation and constitutional reform should have preceded them. Nevertheless, elections were conducted with some degree of success, providing an opportunity to identify some emerging patterns in post-conflict Liberian politics. This article assesses some of the new or hitherto dormant institutions and processes that are likely to play a significant role in shaping Liberia's political order in the twenty-first century.
