Alternatively, the book argues that the war was the consequence of the multifaceted crises of underdevelopment – cultural, economic, political, and social – generated by the neo-colonial Liberian State. %K Conflict Study, Liberia, Bürgerkrieg, Geschichte, Political Science, Peace Study, African Study %G English
