Autocratization in Contemporary Uganda
Zed Books Ltd (Verlag)
978-1-350-32353-7 (ISBN)
Surveying that trajectory since 1986, the book takes as its primary focus the years since 2005; bringing to the fore the ‘autocratic turn’, placing it within a broader comparative lens, and enriching it with comparative references to cases outside of Uganda. While positing the notion of 'autocratic adaptability' as a defining hallmark of Museveni’s rule, the book examines the factors and forces that have made that adaptability possible, analysing the dynamics around three keys themes: institutions, resources, and coalitions. Through empirical research, each chapter seeks to demonstrate how either one or two of these three variables have functioned in propelling autocratization and assuring regime resilience - producing theoretical and and comparative implications that reach beyond Uganda.
Moses Khisa is Associate Professor of Political Science and Africana Studies, North Carolina State University, USA.
