Nothing predisposed these peoples to a \"common destiny\" before colonisation. During the first three decades of independence, the policy of national integration adopted by Félix Houphouët-Boigny and the traditions of these peoples fostered relative political and social stability, conducive to national unity. However, since the death of Houphouët-Boigny, Côte d'Ivoire has plunged into an unprecedented social fracture linked mainly to political and inter-ethnic conflicts and the coup d'état of 1999. How did this country, long recognised as a political, economic and social model in an Africa in crisis, become a veritable social fracture after the death of President Félix Houphouët-Boigny? This book invites Ivorians, then Africans and other peoples of the world, to understand the necessity of the issue of national integration in post-colonial African states, in general, and in Côte d'Ivoire, in particular.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9786207196159\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSocial cohesion in Côte d'Ivoire\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Autorenwelt Shop","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9786207196159","offer_id":48217312067909,"sku":"9786207196159","price":65.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/9a64e5d9-aedf-423d-b4c0-56ad3239316a.jpg?v=1749531668","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/en\/products\/national-integration-in-cote-divoire-1960-2002-von-nguessan-denis-kouakou-und-adou-honorat-katte","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
