Nigeria's most recent presidential election demonstrated the country's fractious political situation and widespread lack of transparency. Throughout much of its post-independence history, Nigeria has suffered under a three-way geo-ethnic political divide that has helped breed corruption, a heavy dependence on oil, and a lack of economic development. President Umaru Yar'Adua has inherited this system. It will be his responsibility to increase accountability at all levels of government and continue economic reforms to encourage sustainable, broad-based development. The government has implemented numerous long-term financial reforms to ensure banks' sustainability and transparency, and it appears that President Yar'Adua will continue down the correct path. Yet, because of the nature of lon...

Inflation has been slightly higher than projected. Measured by the consumer price index (CPI), inflation is now higher than 3%. A strong rise in prices for electricity and petrol has pushed up CPI inflation since autumn 2007. Inflation has increased in many countries. Oil and gas prices have risen further through spring. Capacity utilization in Norway is high. An ample supply of labor, strong productivity growth and considerable terms of trade gains through several years have boosted the growth potential of the Norwegian economy. Growth in the Norwegian economy seems to have slowed as expected in 2008 Q1. Enterprises in Norges Bank's regional network report high capacity utilization but moderating growth in most of the industries. Monetary policy in Norway is oriented towards annual con...

This study examines the determinants of African military intervention in internal conflicts in sub-Saharan Africa for the period from 1989 to 2001. The unit of analysis is internal conflict. To provide empirical analyses of African military intervention in such conflicts, this study tests five propositions concerning ethnic affinity, internal conflict in the intervening state, expected economic gains, security concern, and common borders. Results show that expected economic gains and common borders are important variables. To explain how the variables of its large-N analyses collectively or separately trigger an intervention, this study includes the Liberian intervention in the Sierra Leonean civil war as a case study.
