Hideyuki Okano is a Senior Researcher at Ritsumeikan University. He has published several articles and book chapters on African wars, African politics and youth issues in Africa. Okano conducted cross-border fieldwork in Sierra Leone and Liberia. This book examines how human networks worked in the course of the formation of Kamajor and of the CDF. Even though the roles of human networks have been discussed in the realm of African politics, they have been left hypothetical. Few studies demonstrate the whole picture on how neopatrimonialism, patron–client relations or informal networks function within an organisation.
