Ethno-politics has become a major force in the post-Cold War era.
The fundamental challenge to military establishments in deeply
plural societies is the formation of institutional unity from
diverse ethnic groups. This edited volume examines seven case
studies of countries that have attempted, with varying degrees of
success, to develop, or to begin to develop, within their military
establishments a single "quasi-ethnic" military identity to effect
unity within their ranks and attenuate the deep and often violent
ethnic divisions that otherwise would pertain. The volume compares
contrasting outcomes in two African regions: West Africa with the
contrasting cases of Guinea and Nigeria and East Africa with the
cases of Tanzania, Uganda and Kenya. It also examines the very
different cases of Algeria and Suriname. In most of these cases,
the emergence of a single, unified, quasi-ethnic identity is in its
earliest stages, although rapid global change points to the
likelihood that this pattern will prevail.
