| dc.description.abstract | The Liberian Conflict is a classical study in the confluence of factors that created a “perfect storm” of weapons proliferation. This paper outlines the gradual aligning of factors and processes both local and international that that made the Liberian War a hot bed of small arms. The same weapons that would be recycled into other conflicts in the region where funneled into Liberia via the same countries that would later suffer the fallout of the Liberian conflict. The historical method is employed to examine the gradual build up and the distinct patterns that were created in the process. This same patterns can be recreated if cooperative security at the region does not engage regional security sector reforms with the intent of stemming the growth of such patterns. | en_US |
