  • Guinea's 2008 Military Coup and Relations with the United States
    Guinea's 2008 Military Coup and Relations with the United States Alexis Arieff Analyst in African Affairs Nicolas Cook Specialist in African Affairs July 16, 2009 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov R40703 CRS Report for Congress Prepared for Members and Committees of Congress Guinea's 2008 Military Coup and Relations with the United States Summary Guinea is a Francophone West African country on the Atlantic coast, with a population of about 10 million. It is rich in natural resources but characterized by widespread poverty and limited socio-economic growth and development. While Guinea has experienced regular episodes of internal political turmoil, it was considered a locus of relative stability over the past two decades, a period during which each of its six neighbors suffered one or more armed internal conflicts. Guinea entered a new period of political uncertainty on December 23, 2008, when a group of junior and mid-level military officers seized power, hours after the death of longtime president and former military leader Lansana Conté. Calling itself the National Council for Democracy and Development (CNDD, after its French acronym), the junta named as interim national president Captain Moussa Dadis Camara, previously a relatively unknown figure. The junta appointed a civilian prime minister and has promised to hold presidential and legislative elections by late 2009. However, some observers fear that rivalries within the CNDD, Dadis Camara's lack of national leadership experience, and administrative and logistical challenges could indefinitely delay the transfer of power to a democratically elected civilian administration. Guinea has never undergone a democratic or constitutional transfer of power since gaining independence in 1958, and Dadis Camara is one of only three persons to occupy the presidency since that time.

This idea rests upon the fact that local border actors, public and private, are the bearers of concrete proposals, cross-border zones are dynamic places, and national peripheries are at the center of regional construction. African organizations for inter-governmental cooperation, particularly ECOWAS1 and WAEMU2, currently support this idea by seeking to expand the scope of regional governance for the implementation of NEPAD3 and the economic partnership agreements with the European Union that were laid out at Cotonou. The project, “cross-border areas4”, currently pursued by the Malian government and neighboring countries represents another example of such initiatives.

ZEEB ROAD, ANN ARBOR, Ml 48106 © Copyright by Alpha-Yayah Kaikai 1978 AN AXIOMATIC THEORY OF REGIONAL INTEGRATION: APPLICATIONS TO WEST AFRICA DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Alpha-Yayah Kaikai, B.A. ***** The Ohio State University 1978 Reading Committee: Approved By Chadwick F. Alger, Chairman James E. Harf Edward J. Taaffe Adviser * Department of Political Science Dedicated to the Memory of my mother Mariama Kaikai ii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The expresssion "you have finally made it" implies the achieve­ ment of an important objective but not without encountering many ser­ ious difficulties. It is fully borne out by this writer’s experiences in graduate school. Originally brought up in the "traditional" mode of political science research, this writer knew absolutely nothing about empirical research until he entered graduate school. Indeed, his interest in empirical research was first provoked by reference to the Polimetrics Laboratory in the brochure of the Department of Political Science, Ohio State. Since his traditional mind had always associated labora­ tories with the hard sciences, he decided to find out what on earth took place inside a social science lab. What followed later (in graduate school) was a painful and pro­ tracted experience that required extra hard work on his part to make up for lost time. On the other hand, the expression (referred to above) ignores valuable assistance that is accorded one along the way.

  • 1 CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background to the Study the Deregulation and Liberalisation of the Air Transport Industry Have In
    CHAPTER ONE INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background to the Study The deregulation and liberalisation of the air transport industry have influenced significantly the operational and institutional structure of the aviation industry globally. This regime has created a strong competitive environment among airline operators with a clear-cut impact scale from local to global aviation markets. This has brought about the formation of alliances, mergers and acquisitions to gain a competitive edge. The United States of America pioneered the deregulation of domestic air transport market in 1978 (Miyoshi, 2007). The deregulation of the US domestic market and the Canada-US open skies agreement greatly relaxed the regulatory restraints of the advancement of airline networks in North America (Oun and Lee, 2002). Page (2005) following the work of Chou and Shaw (1993) observed that from the transport geographer’s point of view, a distinguishing spatial structure in air travel has emerged in the USA, whereby the major US airlines have initiated a hub-and-spoke structure as spatial and commercial strategies for arranging airlines operations in a deregulated environment. This is in contrast with the Civil Aeronautic Board (CAB) regulation era where inter-urban routes were often 805km or more in length while little or no attention was given to integrating the route networks amongst operators. O’Kelly (1986), on the spatial effects of deregulation on Aviation in the US, posits that hub and spoke spatial structure have developed, as hubs are least-cost solutions for airlines and may combine a range of airports in a region, helping the airline in running a high-frequency service along trunk routes between hubs.
