This paper explores the relationship between economic freedom, political institutions, and conflict. We use a relatively new measure of peace that offers the unique advantage of capturing both internal and external conflicts, and we use a Freedom House measure of civil liberties for political liberties. According to our findings, countries with higher levels of economic freedom, other things equal, also have lower levels of external and internal conflict. In addition, we find a statistically significant relationship between the degree of civil liberty protection in a country and conflict. Our preliminary findings provide further evidence of the negative relationship between economic freedom and conflict (or positive relationship between economic freedom and peace).

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.

Intrinsic in the concept of international justice for violations of international humanitarian law is the requirement of cooperation by states and, to a large extent, regional bodies with the International Criminal Court (ICC). Unlike domestic courts, the ICC is not endowed with law enforcement power nor could such power be imputed to it as part of its functions. It is against this background that the on-going crisis of corporation between the ICC and the African Union (AU) following the indictment of Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir for international crime portends a far reaching implication for the administration of international criminal accountability. As part of a broader diagnosis of the reasons for the AU's opposition, this paper, while discussing armed conflicts in Africa, whic...
