Aili Mari Tripp takes a close, clear-sighted look at Ugandan
politics since 1986, when Yoweri Museveni became the country's
president. Museveni's exercise of power has been replete with
contradictions: steps toward political liberalization have been
controlled in ways that further centralize authority; and despite
claims of relative peace and stability, Uganda has been plagued by
two decades of brutal civil conflict. Exploring these paradoxes,
Tripp focuses on the complex connections among Museveni's economic
and political reforms, his wars in the north and in Congo, the key
roles of international donors and the military, and the
institutional changes that have defined his presidency. She
highlights, as well, efforts by the judiciary, the legislature, the
media, and civil society to check executive power. This is also a
book about the semiauthoritarian regimes, like Uganda's, that
characterize so many political systems in Africa. Tripp reflects
analytically on the distinctiveness of this type of system-and on
its implications for civil society, institutional growth, and real
economic development.
