From the Paper:
"Dual sets of forces have united in the last decade to confront the Liberian people and their economy. The first of these was the outbreak of civil war in the early 1990s, resulting in national political chaos. This chaos culminated in the virtual enthronement of a major warlord, the U.S. educated Charles Taylor, (who has since fled the country due to pressures internal and external to Liberia). (Daniels) The other set of forces that have concomitantly challenged Liberia is the increasing global dominance of the liberal economic policy vision which reemerged in the early 1970s after nearly twenty-five years of relatively strong state economic intervention, (1950-1973), and has since gained growing momentum under the theory of globalization."Cite this Essay:
