It appeared well on its way to becoming a model of development under its single political party and charismatic founding father, Félix Houphouët-Boigny, when it fell on hard economic times in the 1980s. Poor management of the socio-economic challenges by Houphouët-Boigny’s successors produced disastrous political consequences, including unprecedented political violence, the first-ever successful military coup, and two civil wars, culminating in former President Laurent Gbagbo being sent to the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague to stand trial for war crimes. This third edition of Historical Dictionary of Cote d'Ivoire (The Ivory Coast) contains a chronology, an introduction, appendixes, and an extensive bibliography. The dictionary section has over 700 cross-referenced entries on important personalities, politics, economy, foreign relations, religion, and culture. This book is an excellent access point for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about the Cote d'Ivoire.

Download or read book Ivory Coast written by William Mark Habeeb and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2014-09-02 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The name of the Ivory Coast (also known as Cote d'Ivoire) comes from its history; at one time, Europeans came to the region to hunt elephants for their valuable ivory. Today, the people of Ivory Coast are careful to preserve their country's ecology, which is rich in rare plants and wildlife. During the 1970s, the Ivory Coast was one of the wealthiest African countries, but in recent years the country's economy has suffered because it is subject to fluctuating market prices for its most important exports, such as cocoa and coffee. Although Ivory Coast was long considered one of the most stable states in West Africa, since 1999 it has been beset by internal political tensions. Like many African countries, the leaders of Ivory Coast must figure out how to create a fair and equitable society composed of citizens from various ethnic groups and religions.

Book excerpt: Ivory Coast Political History. Art, Culture, Ethnic groups and Settlement. Central-West Côte d'Ivoire is a lush agricultural landscape, stuffed with rich banana, rice, and cocoa fields. The region is this West African nation's equivalent of the corn belt of Iowa and Illinois. A long drive down stretches of road left pockmarked by the ongoing rainy season yields endless repetitions of the same scene: Tiny villages each home to only a few dozen farmers living in thatched-roof huts quietly tending to crops and livestock. Things are even more peaceful than usual now, as the Muslims that make up this area's dominant religious affiliation celebrate Ramadan. But as you arrive in Yamoussoukro, the nation's capital, a strange monument can be seen towering over the horizon: An enormous gilded cross that adorns the top of what is, by many accounts, the world's largest church. Topping St. Peter's Basilica in Rome by more than 80 feet, Basilica Our Lady of Peace in Yamoussoukro, sometimes called the "basilica in the bush," is a jaw-dropping and bizarre monument to the end of a period only a few decades ago when Côte d'Ivoire was competing against other newly-independent African nations to become the cultural and economic powerhouse of the continent

B�di� receives support from the Baoul�-dominated PDCI leadership, Ouattara is appointed vice president of the International Monetary Fund and moves to Washington DC in the meantime, Ouattara's supporters are removed from positions of power in PDCI, and this group breaks out of the party and creates the new party RDR..Read the entire Book.

Download or read book History of Ivory Coast written by Ronald Cohn and published by Book on Demand Limited. This book was released on 2014-05-01 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The date of the first human presence in Ivory Coast (also officially called Cote d'Ivoire) has been difficult to determine because human remains have not been well preserved in the country's humid climate. However, the presence of old weapon and tool fragments (specifically, polished axes cut through shale and remnants of cooking and fishing) in the country has been interpreted as a possible indication of a large human presence during the Upper Paleolithic period (15,000 to 10,000 BC), or at the minimum, the Neolithic period. The earliest known inhabitants of Cote d'Ivoire, however, have left traces scattered throughout the territory. Historians believe that they were all either displaced or absorbed by the ancestors of the present inhabitants. Peoples who arrived before the 16th century include the Ehotile (Aboisso), Kotrowou (Fresco), Zehiri (Grand Lahou), Ega and Dies (Divo).

Despite the country's socio-cultural diversity, throughout the 1960s and 1970s the development model of Houphou�t-Boigny, C�te d'Ivoire's founding father, secured a remarkably affluent and stable Ivorian society. Liberal immigration and investment policies attracted foreign capital and an influx of foreign laborers, both of which sustained the country's prosperous plantation economy. With the rents he collected, President Houphou�t- Boigny created a range of para-statal entities that provided him with a powerful patronage network, which he used to co-opt potential challengers. Both in the State and the military, he combined this system with a practice of "ethnic balancing," ensuring that each group had a seat at the table.However, by the early 1980s, the economic foundations of the system began to falter. As cocoa and coffee prices began to fall, economic growth slowed almost to a standstill and living conditions began to erode. In the early 1990s, the socio-economic crisis finally led to a series of student protests as well as demonstrations by the illegal opposition parties, including Laurent Gbagbo's FPI. This culminated in the first multi-party presidential elections in October 1990. Though Houphou�t-Boigny won a landslide victory, a deepening economic crisis and the resulting reductions in State expenditures plunged the country into further social and political turmoil
