Abstract
''The conflict in Liberia is not a result of cultural flaws or the str esses of modernity; Liberia's rebel leaders have proved to be quite so phisticated in building new commercial ties to the rest of the world. The war's cause can be traced to cutoffs of aid after the cold war's e nd and the collapse of patron-client politics that had bound Liberia's politicians to one man.''
