Biographies of two ‘big men’ in Zimbabwe
Robert Mugabe (1924–2019) and Solomon Mujuru (1945–2011) worked in tandem as the top civilian and military leaders in independent Zimbabwe from 1980 to 1992. Prior to independence, they worked hand
Luise White. Unpopular Sovereignty
Luise White has written an extraordinarily detailed book about Rhodesia’s years of illegal independence from Britain (1965 to 1980) under the rule of the Rhodesian Front (RF) party. White’s main objective is to examine “how Rhodesians debated what it meant to belong to that nation and what they would do in order to belong to it” (xii). To achieve this goal, she examines contestation about the African franchise in federal and territorial franchise…

What is a Civil War? A Critical Review of its Definition and (Econometric) Consequences
The authors argue that the academic literature, both qualitative and quantitative, has mislabeled most episodes of large-scale violence in Africa as civil war; these episodes better fit their concept of regional war complexes. The paper seeks to highlight the fundamental flaws in the conception of civil war in the econometric literature and their implications for econometric specification and estimation, problems that this literature is inherentl…
Zanu PF politics under Zimbabwe's ‘Power-Sharing’ Government
Using informal network analysis to understand ZANU PF politics, the key significance of the Inclusive Government (IG) is twofold. First, competition between ZANU PF and the ‘opposition’ parties in the IG helps informal networks to cohere sufficiently to run a parallel government that effectively sabotages the IG. Second, the parallel government itself operates to a significant degree through informal networks, further entrenching this form of pol…
Zimbabwe's New Diaspora
Multiparty elections and land patronage
This paper aims at some general understanding of the phenomenon of politicians using land rights as a patronage resource in attempts to mobilise electoral support. Using Zimbabwe and Côte d'Ivoire as case studies, it argues that the increasing visibility of land as a patronage resource in African multiparty elections may be at least partly explained by the convergence of three specific constraints and incentives confronting politicians. First, we…

Zimbabwe's Parliamentary Election of 2005
In the run-up to the March 2005 parliamentary election in Zimbabwe, the ruling party introduced two new electoral laws. It effectively marketed these laws as ‘new’ and ‘democratic’ to the Southern African Development Community (SADC), whose guidelines for a democratic election were the benchmark for assessing the legitimacy of the election. Rather than evaluating these laws in relation to the SADC guidelines, as most analysts and political organi…

From Patriotic Memories to ‘Patriotic History’ in Zimbabwe, 1990 – 2005
This article examines how military veterans and political veterans of Zimbabwe's nationalist movements competed for power and access to state resources, using their distinctive contributions to legitimate their claims and de-legitimate others' claims. Drawing on parliamentary debates over state assistance for war veterans and state pensions for heroes, the article seeks to highlight previously unexplored continuities between the political discour…
Zanu(PF) strategies in general elections, 1980-2000
For many analysts, the general election campaign in 2000 showed a new face of the ruling party, ZANU(PF). Against the new opposition party, the Movement for Democratic Change, ZANU(PF) engaged in violence and intimidation, often relying on youth and war veterans, even as it accused its opponents of subversive violence. Moreover, ZANU(PF) appealed to its liberation war credentials, while dismissing its chief opponents as puppets of British imperia…

Guerrilla Veterans in Post-war Zimbabwe
Zimbabwe's guerrilla veterans have burst into the international media as the storm troopers in Mugabe's new war of economic liberation. In this book, Norma Kriger gives the unfolding contemporary drama a historical background, and shows continuities between the present and past. Between 1980 and 1987, guerrilla veterans and the ruling party colluded with and manipulated each other to build power and privilege in the army, police, bureaucracy and …

Les vétérans et le parti au pouvoir
Le rôle éminent joué par les vétérans de la guerre de libération dans l'occupation des fermes des Blancs puis dans la violente campagne électorale de la Zanu-PF en 2000 s'inscrit dans une dynamique politique de longue durée alternant, depuis l'accord de Lancaster House en 1979, coopération et conflit entre les anciens de la guérilla d'une part, et les dirigeants de leur parti de l'autre. Au-delà de l'instrumentalisation actuelle des vétérans par …

Zimbabwe's Guerrilla War
Studies of revolution generally regard peasant popular support as a prerequisite for success. In this study of political mobilization and organization in Zimbabwe's recent rural-based war of independence, Norma Kriger is interested in the extent to which ZANU guerrillas were able to mobilize peasant support, the reasons why peasants participated, and in the links between the post-war outcomes for peasants and the mobilization process. Hers is an …
