The Interaction Between Democracy and Ethnopolitical Protest and Rebellion in Africa

Protest and Rebellion in Africa
This article examines the sub-Saharan African portion of the global Minorities at Risk project.

The results indicate that the size effects of military expenditure on economic growth are negative, while the externality effects of military spending are positive. In addition, decreas…
