The state of peacebuilding in Africa
As is amply demonstrated in this book––which includes ‘contributors from the grassroots and academia, from the practitioner and policy-making worlds; of African and non-African voices’, (p. 7)––peacebuilding in Africa is a Pandora's box. The editors Terence McNamee and Monde Muyangwa and the contributors they assembled have opened the box to find a plethora of actors, policies, agendas and environments, which make the analysis of this burgeoning …
Chapter 3. The Stories, the Statistics, and the Law Why “Driving While Black” Matters
A City Divided
We don’t know who be who
Liberia’s 2017 elections represented a watershed moment in the country’s political history. In addition to completing the first democratic transfer of power from one president to another since 1944, it resulted in wide representation across many different parties and independents as well as high levels of legislative turn-overs. Additionally, these polls brought forward unprecedented numbers of party reconfigurations, increased levels of defectio…
Government-donor relations in Sierra Leone
Since the cessation of conflict in 2002, Sierra Leone has experienced extraordinary levels of involvement from Western donors. Paradoxically, while relationships are often portrayed on the ground as strong with significant donor influence, our research shows considerable fluidity in individual and institutional relationships. The article disaggregates donor-government relations at various levels over a short but crucial period, 2010-16, asking in…
Taking ‘development cooperation’ and South–South discourse seriously
Indian interaction with the global South is at a crossroads. For a long time wedded to Nehruvian values of South–South cooperation, there are now considerable claims that economics underpins relations. This article looks at the current Indian ‘development cooperation’ in Ghana and, crucially, also asks what form Ghanaian responses take. The article concludes that while the rhetoric and ideas behind South–South cooperation are toned down, it is no…
Liberia’s run-up to 2017
If successfully orchestrated, the October 2017 elections in Liberia will mark the first time in recent memory when a democratically elected Liberian president – Ellen Johnson Sirleaf – will hand over power to a similarly elected head of state. This is very likely to be a close election and our Briefing investigates changes and continuities in the candidates, political parties, electoral processes and the workings of the Liberian state at a waters…
Ebola
Many who worked or closely observed events in West Africa during the Ebola epidemic of 2013–16 were perplexed by the uneven response of both international and national authorities but have now had many of their misgivings thoroughly discussed. Other questions, however, concerning the responses of ordinary Sierra Leoneans, Liberians and Guineans at the sharp end of the epidemic – ranging from violent resistance to self-sufficiency and innovation –…
Learning in the Palaver Hut
The aim of this article is to assess the experiential learning environment of the African Study Visit (ASV). It presents a theoretically grounded analysis of the ASV. Although field visits are not a new phenomenon within Higher Education, they seem, but with few exceptions, to be considered as an add-on teaching method. By drawing from the experiential learning literature, we demonstrate that there are sound pedagogical reasons for incorporating …
Swings and roundabouts
The history of the electoral process in Sierra Leone is at the same time tortuous and substantial. From relatively open competitive multi-party politics in the 1960s, which led to the first turnover of power at the ballot box, through the de facto and de jure one-party era, which nonetheless had elements of electoral competition, and finally to contemporary post-conflict times, which has seen three elections and a second electoral turnover in 200…

Leveraging the politics of racial profiling to effectuate reform
The Importance of Research on Race and Policing
For years, criminologists have directed research efforts at questions at the intersection of race and law enforcement. This has not always been welcomed by practitioners, to put it mildly; rather, many police officers view research focused on race and policing as nothing short of an attempt to paint the policing profession and police officers as racist.\nThis commentary argues that, to the contrary, research into race and policing can still impar…
Detection of breastfeeding and weaning in modern human infants with carbon and nitrogen stable isotope ratios
Carbon ( 13 C/ 12 C) and nitrogen ( 15 N/ 14 N) stable isotope ratios were longitudinally measured in fingernail and hair samples from mother‐infant pairs where infants were exclusively breastfed (n = 5), breast‐ and formula‐fed (n = 2), or exclusively formula‐fed (n = 1) from birth. All exclusively breastfed infants had a dual enrichment in carbon (≈1‰) and nitrogen (≈2–3‰) when compared to maternal values. In contrast, breast‐ and formula‐fed s…
Isotopic Evidence for Breastfeeding and Possible Adult Dietary Differences from Late/Sub-Roman Britain
Historical documents indicate that breastfeeding and weaning practices have fluctuated in England through history. In order to obtain evidence for general breastfeeding patterns in Late/Sub-Roman Britain, stable carbon and nitrogen isotope values were measured in juvenile and adult skeletons (n = 87) from the cemetery of Queenford Farm, Dorchester-on-Thames, Oxfordshire. As the site contained few individuals between 0-1.5 years of age, it was not…
U.S. experiences with racial and ethnic profiling
Liberia 2005
The 2003 Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA) and the ensuing two-year-long National Transitional Government of Liberia (NTGL), which brought together two rebel forces, the former government and members of civil society, justifiably had many critics but also one positive and possibly redeeming feature. In spite of, or perhaps because of, the realpolitik nature of the CPA and the barely disguised gross corruption of the members of the coalition gov…
Nitrogen balance and δ 15 N
While past experiments on animals, birds, fish, and insects have shown changes in stable isotope ratios due to nutritional stress, there has been little research on this topic in humans. To address this issue, a small pilot study was conducted. Hair samples from eight pregnant women who experienced nutritional stress associated with the nausea and vomiting of morning sickness (hyperemesis gravidarum) were measured for carbon ( δ 13 C) and nitroge…

Nitrogen balance and δ 15 N
Carbon ( 13 C/ 12 C) and nitrogen ( 15 N/ 14 N) stable isotope ratios were longitudinally measured in human hair that reflected the period from pre‐conception to delivery in 10 pregnant women. There was no significant change in the δ 13 C results, but all subjects showed a decrease in δ 15 N values (−0.3 to −1.1‰) during gestation. The mechanisms causing this decrease in hair δ 15 N have not been fully elucidated. However, since the δ 15 N values…

From 'warlord' to 'democratic' president
For the best part of seven years, an increasing number of warring factions fought a vicious civil war for control of the West African state of Liberia. In August 1996, the fourteenth peace accord led to presidential and parliamentary elections in July of the following year. Charles Taylor and his National Patriotic Party (NPP), formed out of the original invasion force, emerged victorious with a landslide 75 per cent of the vote. Given the intern…
"Driving while Black" and All Other Traffic Offenses
Under a Constitution that restrains the government vis-a-vis the individual and that puts some limits on what the authorities may do in the pursuit of the guilty, the power of the police to stop any particular driver, at almost any time, it seems oddly out of place. And with the words justice under law carved into the stone of the Supreme Court itself, one might think that the use of police power in one of its rawest forms against members of part…

The road to be taken
community-junior college in the early years of the 1970s is like the personna in Robert Frost's The Road Not Taken. It is faced with divergent paths, and the one chosen will make all the difference. community college has been described as America's unique contribution to education. Junior colleges in the United States evolved naturally from the egalitarian premise that each individual should be allowed to develop to the limits of his capabilities…
A Curriculum Sequence for Moral Development
This study reports the impact of a values course on the moral development of eleventh grade students. The one-semester values course consisted of a two part sequence: nine weeks of psychological awareness followed by nine weeks of moral discourse. Three groups were studied; the first received the psychological awareness plus the moral discourse; the second group experienced moral discourse for the entire semester; and the third one experienced no…

Part II of the Limburg Principles (Principles 74 to 103) interprets the provisions of Part IV of the Covenant, which is concerned with the implementation of the Covenant. Part IV provides for the submission of national reports by contracting parties and for their consideration by ECOSOC and other UN bodies. There is also provision for cooperation between the bodies charged with the implementation of the Covenant and other international bodies who…
Quality Support
This paper discusses the major dilemmas arising in practice from attempts to pursue the latest policies of quality assurance in teacher education. The introduction fills in the background to these latest proposals and models, from “associative quality” to “production quality”. The paper then proceeds to discuss the issues raised by the new policies under the headings of “measurement” and “myth”. Measurement problems are discussed by reference to …
