Côte D'ivoire: a Crisis of Leadership from Houphouët-Boigny to Bédié Côte d’Ivoire: A Crisis of Leadership from Houphouët-Boigny to Bédié, Gbagbo and Ouattara By Jean-Claude Meledje A thesis in fulfilment of requirements of Doctor of Philosophy School of History and International Relations Faculty of Social and Behavioural Science Flinders University Date of submission of the thesis: 6 October 2015 Declaration “I certify that this thesis does not incorporate without acknowledgment any material previously submitted for a degree or diploma in any university; and that to the best of my knowledge and belief it does not contain any material previously published or written by another person except where due reference is made in the text.” Signed Jean-Claude Meledje Date: 6 October 2015 i Dedication and Acknowledgements This research is dedicated to my late father Lazare Meledje who was highly intelligent and provided me with guidance and advice about how to write my numbers when I was a child, although he had never been to school and was not an intellectual. This research is also dedicated to my wonderful wife Marrion Meledje because it would certainly not have been possible without her unconditional love, ongoing support, and patience. Thank you to my supervisors, Dr. Tanya Lyons, Dr. Gerry Pye and Prof. Martin Griffiths for supervising my work on international relations and politics. Your support has been invaluable and I look forward to a life-long friendship with you. Thank you to Frédéric Grah Mel for your advice on the Ivorian crisis. As a researcher I can pay Grah Mel no greater compliment than to say his work triggered new insights in my life. His three volumes on Houphouët based on primary research have provided comprehensive research and analysis for future scholars. I agree with Grah Mel and believe he overreached with his claims about Houphouët’s role on the crisis. Few have attempted to write about Houphouët and Côte d’Ivoire politics so vividly and clearly explain the origin of the Ivorian crisis. I also thank Professor Théophile Koby Assa, Dr. Martial Ahipeaud, and Dr. Maurice Fahé for their suggestions and direction. I would like to thank my academic editor Aaron Lunt, Dr. Erica Martin, and Dr. Martha Crone for their high quality services. I would like to thank Marrion who has been my strongest support. Marrion initiated the editing process, read part of the complete draft of the thesis and assisted in the formatting. Special thanks to my family in Australia for their various forms of support. Special thanks also to my family in Côte d’Ivoire, particularly for enabling me to carry out my fieldwork in Côte d’Ivoire safely. Thank you all for your help. Without your support this project would not have been realised, although the responsibility for its contents remains mine. ii Thank you to Flinders University for providing the financial support that made my 2012 fieldwork in Côte d’Ivoire possible. Merci infiniment à tous.

  • Country Risk Overview
    Côte d’IvoIre Country Risk Overview Côte d’Ivoire’s President Alassane Ouattara is expected to remain in power until 2020 when his two term limit expires. This provides a solid foundation for current investment prospects, which is particularly impressive against the backdrop of the 2010 political unrest. However, various factors developing in the run-up to the next elections have the potential to impact investment in the country. When Ouattara was inaugurated in 2011, his immediate mandate was to bring stability and a safer security environment following the electoral crisis resulting from the 2010 election. A close second was economic reform. Ouattara led major investments in infrastructure, education, health, transportation as well as Côte d’Ivoire’s restoration as the world’s leading producer of cocoa and cashew nuts. In October 2016, a new constitution was approved following a referendum which allowed the consolidation of executive power. A legislative election was held in December that year which saw the RDR-led ruling coalition retain power by securing 167 of the 255 seats. Ouattara used the successful election to reduce Côte d’Ivoire has the cabinet and appoint longstanding allies into key positions, as permitted by maintained steady the new constitution. Notably, Ouattara placed Daniel Kablan Duncan in the economic growth over newly formed Vice President role and Amadou Gon Coulibaly as Prime Minister. These appointees reinforce Ouattara’s strong control over the country, and the last 5 years and support his continued hold on power until the next election in three years. boasts strong agriculture, mining, oil and gas and Opportunities Côte d’Ivoire is an economic and transportation hub for French-speaking West infrastructure sectors.

Now, after fifteen years of economic downturn and three years of political turmoil, Côte d'Ivoire is in the midst of a full-fledged crisis. A new phase of the crisis began in September 2002 when a mutiny erupted in the administrative capital of Abidjan, while rebels in the north seized the cities of Bouaké and Korhogo. They eventually took control of the entire northern part of the country and have the potential, if unsatisfied by political progress, to someday march on Abidjan. (See map). France, the former colonial power, sent reinforcements for the 600 French troops already present in the country under a permanent defense agreement to help protect western African populations and to monitor a cease-fire between the rebels and the government. Center on the United For more briefs in the U.S.-France Analysis Series, see States and France http://www.brookings.edu/usfrance/analysis/index.htm In January 2003, the French government organized peace talks between the Ivorian government, the rebel groups and all political parties, resulting in the Marcoussis Agreements.1 These agreements call for a “reconciliation government” that would include rebels under the leadership of a new prime minister and for the settlement of long-standing issues including access to Ivorian nationality, rules of eligibility and land ownership.

The presidential and semi-presidential systems of the is a trainee in the Promotion region have repeatedly given rise to tension and conflict in the of Democr acy in past, and even more so where the newly elected head of state the West Africa is endowed with extensive powers. The “Présidentielles” in Ivory program of the Konrad-Adenauer- Coaste fiv years ago resulted in a particularly dramatic escalation. Stiftung. Due to the Civil War (2002/2007), the elections, which had been originally scheduled for 2005, were postponed several times, and were finally held against the backdrop of a deeply divided country. The first ballot of the belated 2010 presidential elections initially put southern incumbent Laurent Gbagbo ahead, but during the run-off, northern challenger Alassane Ouattara was certified to have received the highest number of votes by the Independent Electoral Commission (Commission Électorale Independente de Côte d’Ivoire). The Constitutional Council, however, declared Gbagbo the victor. Both candidates took their oath, resulting in two Ivorian presidents being in office at the same time.

  • “Abidjan: Floods, Displacements, and Corrupt Institutions”
    “Abidjan: Floods, Displacements, and Corrupt Institutions” Abstract Abidjan is the political capital of Ivory Coast. This five million people city is one of the economic motors of Western Africa, in a country whose democratic strength makes it an example to follow in sub-Saharan Africa. However, when disasters such as floods strike, their most vulnerable areas are observed and consequences such as displacements, economic desperation, and even public health issues occur. In this research, I looked at the problem of flooding in Abidjan by focusing on their institutional response. I analyzed its institutional resilience at three different levels: local, national, and international. A total of 20 questionnaires were completed by 20 different participants. Due to the places where the respondents lived or worked when the floods occurred, I focused on two out of the 10 communes of Abidjan after looking at the city as a whole: Macory (Southern Abidjan) and Cocody (Northern Abidjan). The goal was to talk to the Abidjan population to gather their thoughts from personal experiences and to look at the data published by these institutions. To analyze the information, I used methodology combining a qualitative analysis from the questionnaires and from secondary sources with a quantitative approach used to build a word-map with the platform Voyant, and a series of Arc GIS maps. The findings showed that the international organizations responded the most effectively to help citizens and that there is a general discontent with the current local administration. The conclusions also pointed out that government corruption and lack of infrastructural preparedness are two major problems affecting the overall resilience of Abidjan and Ivory Coast to face this shock.
