The effects of government policies on cereal consumption pattern change in the Gambia
This paper examines the effects of agricultural policies in the Gambia since independence from Great Britain in 1965. Under the two governments that have ruled the country since then, the People's Progressive Party (PPP) led by Dawda Jawara (1965–1994) and the Alliance for Patriotic Re-orientation and Construction (APRC) led by Yahya Jammeh, the country has shown little to no growth in agricultural productivity. Moreover, recent policy changes, b…
The Gambia's 2006 Presidential Election
On Friday, September 22, 2006, Gambians voted in the third presidential election since soldier-turned-civilian-president Yahya Jammeh came to power in a bloodless 1994 coup d'état. President Jammeh's ruling party defeated two separate, though ideologically and programmatically similar, political/party alliances. Notwithstanding, the 2006 presidential election has not appreciably moved The Gambia any closer to a more democratic political culture. …
The Gambia's 'Elected Autocrat Poverty, Peripherality, and Political Instability,' 1994-2006
This article assesses 'democratization' under military and quasimilitary regimes in the Gambia following the 1994 coup d'état until 2006. The 'transition' program back to 'civilian' rule in 1996, the 2001 and 2006 presidential elections, and the aftermath of deepening authoritarianism and economic crisis are also evaluated. The formation of a five-political party coalition, the National Alliance for Democracy and Development, in 2005 raised expec…
Small States in World Politics
Have the changes of the past decade made this an easier or a more difficult world for small states as they pursue their foreign policy goals? To understand the foreign policies of small states, are new explanatory factors needed? Does the concept of the “small state” still have utility at all? Small States in World Politics addresses these questions, deftly analyzing the impact of new economic and political realities. Offering empirical richness …

The Gambia's foreign policy since the coup, 1994–99
Since gaining political independence in 1965, The Gambia's foreign policy was driven by two inter‐related objectives. The first was the desire to maintain territorial sovereignty, and the second had to do with attracting external economic resources. A pro‐Western foreign policy under Jawara (1965–94), enabled his regime to extract considerable financial assistance from the West. With Western‐imposed sanctions following the 1994 coup, The Gambia's…

The Coup d'Etat in The Gambia, 1994
A coup d'etat in The Gambia abruptly ended the reign of the longest serving democratic government and head of state in Africa. This ministate of one million was renowned internationally for its tranquility at a time when the rest of the continent was mired in political instability. The coup resulted from perceived civilian government weakness, widespread feelings of relative deprivation among junior Gambian officers, and their resentment against …
