Regime Hegemony in Museveni's Uganda: Pax Musevenica
Dr. Joshua Rubongoya recently published the first book-length study of politics in Uganda since Yoweri Museveni took power twenty years ago. The book examines the ways by which a new regime authenticates its right to govern after a violent authoritarian state makes a constitutional power transition impossible. Rubongoya analyzes the strategies used by Museveni and the National Resistance Movement (NRM) to reconstruct the state and reestablish legitimate authority. Regime Hegemony in Museveni's Uganda examines the serious mistakes in policy which undercut political legitimacy and blocked the transition to liberal democracy in Uganda.
