Identifier	Thesis 2229
Author	Sogbo, Francis Yaw, 1970-
Title	From paradise to troubled state : the civil war in Côte d'Ivoire (Ivory Coast) 2002-2011
Publisher	Central Connecticut State University
Date	2012
Resource Type	Master's Thesis
Notes	In their bid to hold on to power, leading Ivorian politicians devised undemocratic means to disenfranchise their political and ideological opponents. Events that had caused wars on the African continent in the past were ignored, and lessons were not learnt from the wars that ravaged Sierra Leone and Liberia. The interplay between these, and other socio-cultural, ethnic, religious, economic and educational factors threw the nation into a devastating war, 2002-2011. The result was obvious: Côte d'Ivoire, the hitherto "paradise" and a paragon of peace in Africa, suddenly turned into a troubled state. The purpose of this research was to examine the causes of the war in Côte d'Ivoire and to find out how the war has affected the country. With a correlational approach, and the hybrid form of qualitative and quantitative methodologies, the researcher wove data from document analysis and from respondents, into a coherent conceptual narrative, giving the reader an epistemological construct. It was revealed that the claim to power on the basis of ethnic labels, economic disparities, the lack of equal access to educational facilities and greed on the part of politicians were the main causes of the Côte d'Ivoire crisis. The research further revealed that war in Côte d'Ivoire destabilizes neighboring countries, especially Ghana, Burkina Faso, Guinea and Liberia. A new political norm that requires candidates to appeal to the electorate, and seek support beyond ethnic labeling could avert future crisis
