The Challenge of Civil Wars to Multilateral Interventions – UN, Ecowas, and Complex Political Emergencies in West Africa
Investing in peace and security in Africa
The rebellions and civil wars that have plagued West Africa in recent years bespeak the need for better links among security, democracy, and governance. The Economic Community of West African State
Regulating Illicit Trade in Natural Resources
This article explores the multiple efforts that have been initiated by regional actors in West Africa, mainly ECOWAS, 1 to regulate the illicit trade in natural resources in the context of armed conflicts. It then examines the behaviour of 'spoilers' who are able to circumvent the sanctions regime and governments' domestic regulation. The paper argues that the characteristics and multiple dynamics of the armed conflicts in West Africa have create…
Politics, War and Youth Culture in Sierra Leone
Understanding the nature of armed conflict in Africa requires more than a political and military analysis of forms of warfare such as the employment of children as fighters. Children are seldom only instruments for other causes but can actively support their own agenda through the choices they make. Problems of governance, resource use and social organisation also need to be considered. There arc often no clear lines between civilians and militar…

Ghana Election 2000
Ghana achieved a victory for democracy on 7 January 2001 when Kufuor, the presidential candidate of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), was inaugurated as its president. For Kufuor, this was the end of a ‘political wilderness’ that lasted 29 years. His victory was celebrated with a nationwide sense of relief and joy. Almost 100 days after the government assumed power, it still enjoys massive support from the people and a new tolerance level that is un…

Humanitarian intervention and human rights
To the residents of the target community, humanitarian intervention connotes an act of benevolence, which will ease their suffering and ensure the protection of human rights. However, such interventions and the eventual conduct of troops, no matter how well meaning, rarely produce this outcome. Liberia and Somalia are just two examples. This article, through an analysis of the ECOMOG intervention in Liberia, examines the human rights issues broug…
Eliciting compliance from Warlords
This article examines the strategies initiated by the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) to elicit compliance with its disarmament policies from belligerents in Liberia's 1989–96 civil conflict. I propose to tackle the task within a linked and holistic four‐fold approach. First, I situate ECOWAS's intervention in Liberia from 1990 to 1997 within the changing context of international perceptions of multilateral organisation involve…
Gender and civil war
The major rationale of this article is to contribute to the increasing body of gender studies dealing with the role of African women in societal issues. The basic concerns, however, are to analyse the character and nature of assignments performed by women in the Liberian and Sierra Leonean crises. I seek to explore these roles by moving away from the traditional essentialist perspectives which define some of these studies. Rather, the approach st…
