Abstract

This essay is devoted to the examination of the way globalization is connected to the conflict emergence in the developing world (with focus on the warfare in Liberia and Sierra Leone in 1989–2003). The key paradox of intensified conflicts in the developing world in the 1990s against the backdrop of deeper globalization is reviewed through the lens of civil wars in West Africa and their interconnection with the globalizing markets. Geo-economic foundations and structure of trans-border war zones with links to global markets are analyzed using this material. Overall, the essay seeks to examine the complexity and extent of the role globalization had on the fragile West African states in the post-Cold War context.
