Human Security in the Post-Conflict Development of Liberia

In 2003, Liberia saw an end to a fourteen year old civil war with the signing of a comprehensive peace agreement. With a legacy of institutions shattered by war and long periods of bad governance, the country began a process of post conflict development aimed at addressing the human security needs of the people.This book explores the post conflict record and its effect on human security. It argues that spatial inequality in human security continues to undermine the sustainability of Liberia's post-conflict fortunes.
