Movement For Justice In Africa And State Transformation In Liberia

Some of these modalities have contributed to the various state transformation projects, while others have not. Overall, state transformation projects have had various outcomes, including success, failure and a mixture of successes and failures. Against this backdrop, this article examines the state transformation project that was u…
The Peripheral State and Corruption in The Global South
Corruption is a major enduring feature of the political economies of the states in the Global South. It finds expression in various illegal and unethical practices, including bribery, extortion, embezzlement, and fraudulent procurement schemes, perpetrated particularly by public officials occupying various positions in the branches of government and the constituent agencies. Two of the major emergent issues are: (a) What are the major causes of c…
Africa and the New Globalization
Globalization is not a new phenomenon in the international system. However, the various phases of globalization have had divergent scopes, actors, dimensions and dynamics - that is, each of the phases of globalization can be differentiated according to these terms. Against this background, this book focuses on the 'new globalization', a phase that emerged when the Cold War ended and which is, significantly, the most expansive and technologically …
Reconstituting the State in Africa
The Small Powers in World Politics
This paper aims to conceptualize a framework for better understanding the challenges, actions and rationales of the African and Asian small powers in the post-1989 global order. The paper will be divided into three parts. First, it will review the literature on small power/state studies. Second, following a critique of the major approaches in small power studies, we will argue for the need for a critical realist perspective to better capture the …
Warlords, Politicians and the Post-First Civil War Election in Liberia
The issue of post-conflict elections has become one of the major areas in both the scholarly literature and in policy circles. This is because post-conflict elections are considered critical to the peacebuilding process in war-torn societies. The rationale is that post-conflict elections can be used to address the vexing problem of choosing the leadership for states recovering from war. With the leadership chosen in the context of free, fair and …
The State and Political Instability in Africa
Political instability has been an enduring feature of the post-colonial landscape in Africa. The scholarly literature has offered various reasons for this phenomenon – the Cold War, ethnic antagonisms and rent-seeking behaviour, among others. However, this article argues that the peripheral capitalist African state is the primary source of political instability on the continent. Specifically, the peripheral capitalist state has generated various …

The political and economic roots of civil conflicts in Africa
The obstacles to the peaceful resolution of the Liberian civil conflict
Over the last two years, the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS) has attempted to resolve the Liberian civil conflict peacefully.’ This effort has drawn valuable lessons from previous civil conflicts in the other African states. Importantly, the ECOWAS‐sponsored cease‐fire was observed by the various warring factions for two years; however, the ceasefire was shattered on October 15, 1992, when the National Patriotic Front of Liberi…

Dependency and the Foreign Policy of a Small Power
Resolving African conflicts
The postindependence era in Africa has witnessed the eruption of several conflicts; and these have assumed two major forms: interstate and domestic. The cause of these various conflicts can be attributed to myriad factors. In the case of interstate conflicts, issues revolve around territorial claims and counterclaims, third‐party intervention on behalf of antigovernment factions, and personality differences among the leaders. As for domestic or i…
From Politics Back to the Barracks in Nigeria
The article probes the issue of the military's disengagement from Nigerian politics, and the prospects for a third democratic experience as of June 1993. The central thesis is that the military engagement-disengagement nexus is deeply rooted in the crisis of social justice in Nigeria. The military has intervened and disengaged from Nigerian politics in the past because of the inability of Nigeria's peripheral capitalist system to meet the needs a…
Combatants, patrons, peacemakers, and the Liberian civil conflict
The paper examines the various major actors in the Liberian civil conflict, the impact of the conflict, and the efforts to resolve it peacefully. First, the major combatants are identified as the National Patriotic Front of Liberia, the major insurgency movement, the Independent National Patriotic Front of Liberia, the breakaway faction from the National Patriotic Front of Liberia, and the Armed Forces of Liberia, the remnants of the Liberian arm…
The roots of western influence in Africa
The article examines the issue of the dominance of Western cultural imperialism in Africa, and the resistance to its continuation. In the case of the former, the study argues that the major Western Powers have maintained their cultural hegemony on the African continent through a web of socialization agents—education, ideology, culture and the mass media. This process has culminated in the acculturation of Africans: they have been conditioned to a…

Propaganda and United States foreign policy
This paper probes the use of propaganda by the U.S. government as a device for generating domestic public support for its invasion of Panama. The findings indicate that the government did succeed in influencing domestic public opinion. What accounted for the success? First, through the propaganda technique of selection, the U.S. government carefully chose those “facts” that supported its predetermined objective of removing General Manuel Noriega …
