“…From its inception, the LNP has been politicized and has failed to conform to the principles of democratic policing (Akpan 1973). Political leaders have also used the force to silence the opposition and suppress dissent (Akpan 1973). Furthermore, the LNP did not recognize domestic violence as a category of crime before the war, which was reflected in how complainants were treated.…”

“…The Liberia National Police (LNP) and the courts are two of the least trusted institutions in the country (Medie 2018;Wambua 2015). This is not surprising because from its inception, the LNP has been politicized and has failed to conform to the principles of democratic policing (Akpan 1973). Political leaders have also used the force to silence the opposition and suppress dissent (Akpan 1973).…”

Domestic violence is the predominant form of violence against women in most countries in Africa and Latin America. Scholars have theorized the adoption of domestic violence laws and policies in both regions. However, policy implementation is understudied and under theorized. Therefore, we compare how international organizations and women's nongovernmental organizations have influenced the implementation of domestic violence policies by police officers in Liberia and Nicaragua. We introduce the concept of the transnational implementation process and describe how international organizations and women's organizations have employed training, institutional and policy restructuring, and monitoring to influence police behavior at the street level. The effects of these strategies have been conditional on the political environment. We identify two patterns of international and domestic influence on street-level implementation: internationally led and domestically supported implementation in Liberia, with domestically led and internationally supported implementation in Nicaragua.

“…A la tête de plusieurs clans rassemblés artificiellement pour l'occasion, des chefs "supérieurs" ont dû rendre des comptes à des commissioners de districts qui obéissaient eux-mêmes aux superintendents de comtés et au ministère de l'intérieur. Ceci n'est évidemment pas allé sans susciter des résistances et les Kru, par exemple, ont voulu faire sécession en demandant le soutien du colonisateur britannique dans la Sierra Leone voisine (Davis 1975;Akpan 1973).…”

The city of Monrovia has played a pivotal role in the war in Liberia. Despite the fact that rural conflicts have ultimately made their way to the capital, the city's population has tripled. And despite the urban violence Monrovia has still offered displaced populations a more secure refuge than the hinterland which continues to be ravaged by armed bands. This exodus from the countryside has had important political consequences. Links with Monrovia have provided groups from the interior with access to a site of political power historically monopolized by the coastal elites. Once in the the city, squatters from rural areas and towns outside the capital have not been content to remain a silent majority. On several occasions they have taken to the streets to demonstrate for peace. Their representation in the city is now permanent, a development that has important consequences not only for the reconstruction of Monrovia but for the entire country.

“…The second phase of faith integration in curriculum development in Liberia transpired between the Americo-Liberians and the native-Liberians in the 1800s (Guannu, 2010;Nelson, 1985). During this time, faith integration continued with the foremost purpose of civilizing and Christianizing the native Liberians (Akpan, 1973;Sherman, 2010). Thus, the Americo-Liberians built churches and schools to transmit a formal educational system which was predominantly Western in nature.…”

“…Thus, the Americo-Liberians built churches and schools to transmit a formal educational system which was predominantly Western in nature. Due to the influence of the Western education, many educated native Liberians continue to speak English instead of their native languages (Akpan, 1973;Sherman, 2010). Both the Americo-Liberians and the natives Liberians witnessed the independence of Liberia on July 26, 1847 (Guannu, 2010;Nelson, 1985;Sherman, 2010).…”

Integration of faith and learning practitioners must be able to develop an integrated curriculum which includes the focused, intentional and targeted integration approach as recommended in this paper. The integration should include various aspects like the programs of studies, the lesson plans and the evaluation of learning activities. Furthermore, the integrated curriculum should be designed to include faith aspects in learning through intra-disciplinary, multidisciplinary, interdisciplinary and trans-disciplinary approaches. The paper further expounds on the meaning and significance of an integrated curriculum for Christian educators. The case is post-civil war Liberia and the major question of the paper is, how can an integrated curriculum bridge the gap of the missing link of faith integration in curriculum development in Liberia? Consequently, a proposed model is provided for Christian education stakeholders in Liberia. The model can be applicable across Christian educators worldwide.
