Ivory Coast
Index
Côte d'Ivoire: A Country Study replaces the
second
edition of the original Ivory Coast: A Country
Study, which
was reprinted in 1973 with an added summary of events
covering the
January 1963 to December 1972 period. Like the earlier
study, this
edition seeks to provide a concise and objective account
of the
history and dominant social, political, economic, and
military
aspects of contemporary Côte d'Ivoire. Sources of
information
included scholarly monographs and journals, official
reports of
governments and international organizations, periodicals,
and
foreign and domestic newspapers. Chapter bibliographies
appear at
the end of the book; brief comments on some of the more
valuable
sources appear at the end of each chapter. Measurements
are given
in the metric system; a conversion table to aid readers is
included
(see
table 1, Appendix). A glossary is also included.
Authors have spelled place-names in accordance with
usage
established by the United States Board on Geographic
Names. In
transliterating personal names, they have followed
standard usage
in official Ivoirian sources.
