With the departure of the despotic Charles Taylor in 2003, the deployment of UN peacekeeping forces, and the election of Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf in 2005, Liberia was ready to begin the arduous task of creating a viable economic and social infrastructure. How does a nation mired in years of anarchy establish itself in the modern world? Is it possible to find administrators who will be dedicated to government accountability and transparency? In examining Liberia’s attempts to abide by the four provisions of the UN’s initiative—to disarm, demobilize, rehabilitate, and reintegrate—this program provides a case study in the difficulty of rebuilding a society once it has lapsed into anarchy.
