OF THE DISSERTATION FROM STABILITY TO INSURGENCY: THE ROOT AND PROXIMATE CAUSES OF THE SEPTEMBER 2002 CIVIL WAR IN COTE D’IVOIRE by Bertin K. Kouadio Florida International University, 2009 Miami, Florida Professor John F. Clark, Major Professor This dissertation was an analysis of the root and proximate causes of the September 2002 civil war in Cote d’Ivoire. The central question of this study was: Why did Cote d’Ivoire, which was relatively stable under President Houphouet-Boigny, suddenly begin to experience political violence in the 1990s and an explosion in 2002? Cote d’Ivoire was an interesting case because it was stable for a long period of time, apparently making it an infertile ground for conflict. It was also interesting for comparative purposes because of the fact that several states in West Africa (for instance, Benin, Togo, and Ghana) have experienced military coups but not have civil wars. Finally, this case was an opportunity to revisit the debate on the causes of civil wars in the African context. Chapter one has outlined the entire dissertation project and contextualized the analysis that follows in the subsequent chapters. Chapter two has reviewed the literature on civil wars in general, identified the different types of civil wars, and the type the Ivoiran war is. Chapter three has examined the domestic and international political economy as a source of the civil violence in Cote d’Ivoire. Chapter
