Abstract/Contents

Abstract: For her capstone project, Cathy Nguyen researched the ways in which wealth distribution and infrastructure development, that is ethical and sustainable, can be part of the transitional justice process. Using Sierra Leone as a case study, she examined how the Revolutionary United Front (RUF) grew so large and influential as a result of civil unrest surrounding poverty and corruption. She further looked at the legacy of what has already been done in Sierra Leone and what more should be done, considering Sierra Leone’s position as one of the poorest countries in the world.
