African states have become testing grounds for Western
conflict-resolution experiments, particularly power-sharing
agreements, supposedly intended to end deadly conflict, secure
peace and build democracy in divided societies. This volume
examines the legal and political efficacy of transitional political
power-sharing between democratically constituted governments and
the African warlords, rebels, or junta that seek to violently
unseat them. What role does law indicate for itself to play in
informing, shaping and regulating peace agreements? This book
addresses this question and others through the prism of three West
African case studies: Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea-Bissau. It
applies the neo-Kadeshean model of analysis and offers a framework
for a 'Law on Power-sharing'. In a field dominated by political
scientists, and drawing from ancient and contemporary international
law, this book represents the first substantive legal critique of
the law, practice and politics of power-sharing.
