  • Questionnaire Liberia
    Questionnaire Liberia Foreword by Researcher I deemed it practical to give a short introduction on the Liberian Judicial System as well as its constitutional framework by pointing out a few historical, structural and legal specialities. Due to its historical background1, political and military disruptions and years of civil war, the formal Liberian justice system is markedly weak. The discrepancy between the law on the books and the law in action is probably more distinct than in many other countries of West-Africa (especially Ghana and Nigeria), as the formal judicial system earns only a minimum of trust amongst the population of Liberia. A study by the United States Peace Institute2 revealed that in civil disputes of a total of 3181 cases, 59% are not taken to any forum for resolving the issue, 38% of the cases are taken to the informal /customary forum and only 3% of the civil disputes (2% of criminal disputes) are taken to the formal judicial forum of Magistrate Courts at the lowest instance. According to the International Development Law Organisation3, out of 320 Magistrate Judges, 30 can offer some kind of judicial training. Financial shortages make it extremely difficult to train judicial officers. The Judicial Training Institute (JTI) of Liberia explained that almost the entire salaries of the judiciary are paid by external donors (in the past mainly by the American Bar Association). The JTI was to a large extend financed by the GIZ, whose Programme in Liberia was terminated at the end of 2013. Most stakeholders are aware that revision and reform processes need to be expedited but they are still moving rather moderately.

  • The Evolution of the Liberian State
    The Evolution of the Liberian State A Study in Neo-patrimonial State Formation and Political Change Felix Gerdes Arbeitspapier Nr. 1 / 2013 Institut für Politikwissenschaft Forschungsstelle Kriege, Research Unit of Wars, Rüstung und Entwicklung Armament and Development Anschrift und Bezugsadresse Universität Hamburg - IPW Forschungsstelle Kriege, Rüstung und Entwicklung Allende-Platz 1 D - 20146 Hamburg Telefon +49 (40) 42838-3689 Fax +49 (40) 42838-2460 Internet: http://www.akuf.de E-Mail: [email protected] ISSN 1432 – 8283 About the Author Dr. phil. Felix Gerdes earned his doctorate from the University of Hamburg (UHH) with a dissertation on the political economy of war and peace in Liberia and recently worked in a DFG-funded project on post-war elite formation (2010-2012) at the same university. His principal research interests lie in the political economy and political sociology of states in South-East Asia and Africa. Felix Gerdes currently works at Zaman University, Phnom Penh. Comments welcome: [email protected] Abstract Against the background of the hypothesis of historically rooted state failure in Liberia, this paper argues that Liberia’s political history represented a fast-paced process of state formation. It traces the development of formal and informal institutions of sovereign, central authority and investigates the drivers of the geographical extension and the institutional growth of this central authority. Against dominant position in the debate on African state- building, the author argues that the formation of the Liberian state was strongly driven by conventional old world mechanisms. While different initial conditions, different configurations of social forces and a different world economy indeed entail divergence in local forms of the state, secular political trends have similar effects in different places.

    DIPLÔME ET KALASHNIKOV Les luttes d’influences entre technopols et warlords dans le Libéria post-conflit Par : Bruno Sauvagnat Thèse soumise à l’Université d’Ottawa dans le cadre des exigences du programme Maîtrise ès arts en science politique École d’études politiques Faculté des sciences sociales Université d’Ottawa © Bruno Sauvagnat, Ottawa, Canada, 2019 RÉSUMÉ Cette thèse s'intéresse aux luttes d'influence entre deux groupes élitaires au Libéria post- conflit (2003-2018): les Warlords, dont le pouvoir repose sur la mobilisation d'acteurs violents et les technopols, dont l'infuence repose sur leur possession de diplômes reconnus internationalement et leurs contacts avec certains acteurs internationaux (FMI, BM, USAID, la Citi bank, etc.). Nous soutiendrons dans cette thèse que les technopols libériens ont réussi à exclure les warlords des institutions étatiques en se réappropriant les moyens et les discours de certains acteurs internationaux, mais ont continué à collaborer avec certains warlords pour exercer un contrôle relatif sur des régions en marge de l’influence de l’État. ii TABLE DES MATIÈRES Résumé :p.ii Remerciements : p.iv Introduction : p. 1-13 Chapitre 1 : Les origines historiques des technopols : p. 14-37 Chapitre 2 : Les origines historiques des warlords : p. 38-51 Chapitre 3 : Les luttes d’influence entre technopols et warlords : p. 52-68 Chapitre 4 : Régionalisation et privatisation du pouvoir des warlords : p.69-85 Chapitre 5 : L’internationalisation du pouvoir des technopols et l’art de la « décharge » : p. 86-109 Conclusion : p. 110-120 Acronyme : p. 121 Annexes : p. 122-130 Bibliographie : p. 131-143 iii REMERCIEMENTS J’aimerais d’abord remercier mon superviseur de thèse Frédéric Vairel qui m’a guidé durant ce long projet et qui m’a fait découvrir la passion pour la politique comparée quand je débutais tout juste mon baccalauréat en 2012.

  • Civil War and State Formation and State Gerdes Civil War
    Liberia was the scene of two devastating civil wars since late 1989 and became widely consid- ered a failed state. By contrast, the country is frequently described as a success story since the international professional Ellen Johnson Sirleaf assumed the presidency following democrat- ic elections in 2005. The book investigates the Felix Gerdes political economy of civil war and democratic peace and puts the developments into histori- cal perspective. The author argues that the civ- il wars did not represent the breakdown of the state but exhibited dynamics characteristic of Civil War state formation.

    LIBERIA Liberia: America’s Stepchild is the sixth offering of World Story, WGBH’s ongoing series of specials on modern world history for PBS. AMERICA'S STEPCHILD Liberia: America’s Stepchild is a Grain Coast Production for WGBH Boston. It first broadcast on PBS on Thursday, October 10, 2002. www.pbs.org/globalconnections Liberia: America’s Stepchild Nancee Oku Bright, Narrator: In April 1980, a tragedy unfolded in my country, the small West African nation of Liberia. People had come to celebrate a military coup against their government, and the cold-blooded murder of their president. They watched as 13 former Cabinet members were stripped, tied to poles, and executed. It was hard to believe in that moment that Liberia was Africa’s oldest republic, founded 133 years before on the promise of peace and freedom for the American Blacks who settled here during the time of slavery. But now, the peace had ended, and there was worse—much worse—to come. Liberia’s story began in 1820, when 86 Black passengers set sail on the Elizabeth from the United States for the west coast of Africa. It was 200 years after the first Africans were bound and shackled, transported against their wills to the New World. Now their descendants were heading back to Africa, back to the land of their ancestors. The voyage began with a reading from Deuteronomy, chapter 11, the passage in which the Israelites were promised a land of milk and honey if they obeyed the Lord’s commandments. They carried everything they owned. There was no turning back.
