Colonial Legacies and Regime Hegemony in Uganda
This book explains the prevalence of electoral authoritarianism (or multi-party autocracy) in the politics of sub-Saharan Africa and examines why repeated elections have not deepened democracy. Using Uganda as a case study, the book examines the hegemonic regimes that underpin electoral authoritarian regimes in the context of a colonial legacy. Employing a historical institutionalist approach, the author considers independence struggles as format…
Movement legacy’ and neoliberalism as political settlement in Uganda’s political economy
Political Legitimacy Threatened
If the period leading up to 1996 was one of great expectations and remarkable achievements, the five years (1996 to 2001) that followed were marked by a steady contraction inside the NRM in particular and the political system in general. The marginalization of veteran NRM supporters, such as Winnie Byanyima and Kizza Besigye, symbolized this developing illiberalism as the regime began to show intolerance for dissenting views and opinions. Not sur…
Reconstructing the State
Between 1986 and 1991, the political situation in Uganda improved markedly, compared to the desperate conditions that characterized the pre-1986 period. Despite the insurgencies in the north, much of the country was in a mood of political and infrastructural rehabilitation coupled with an economic renaissance. This mood grew out of a fresh political outlook in civil-military relations based on what appeared to be a new brand of political (NRM) an…
Convergence not Fundamental Change
The five-year period from 2001 to 2006 provides an opportunity to take stock of the politics of Pax Musevenica as the movement system came to an end and the first multiparty general elections were held in February 2006. What at first appears like political progress is in reality a mirage—Uganda’s transition to democracy (if it can be called that) is in serious trouble. Notwithstanding the first multiparty general elections in twenty years, most p…
Institutional Change and Democratization
The power consolidation and legitimacy strategies laid out in the years between 1986 and 1991 began to develop institutional identities during the years under study in this chapter, namely, 1991 to 1996. Following deregulation, the press was gaining a vibrancy unprecedented in Uganda’s history. Already-established private newspapers, and TV and radio stations, were finding their niche as organs for the people’s voice, while new ones were still be…
Conclusion
Uganda is a study in the reconstruction of a collapsed state, the resuscitation of measurable levels of legitimacy, and the costly political mistakes that empty political institutions of their capacity to make binding and authoritative decisions. The reconstruction of the state ontologically precedes considerations of power distribution and legitimacy (Ngethe 1995:253). It is a process that deals with rejuvenating institutional mechanisms that fo…
Continuities in Delegitimation—Postcolonial Tyranny and Anarchy (1962 to 1986)
To understand the continued delegitimation of state power in the first two decades of Uganda’s postcolonial era, this chapter takes a close look at the structure of power and the complex processes by which political elites assumed positions of authority. These processes became the critical underpinnings of how power was used, for whom, and in whose interests. However, the following factors are important in providing a context for the analysis tha…
Regime Hegemony in Museveni’s Uganda

The Bakonjo‐Baamba and Uganda
Since the colonial days of the nineteenth century, there has been an extended campaign by regionally dominant peoples to integrate and assimilate the Bakonjo and Baamba peoples of the Ruwemori Mountains of Uganda. The Bakonjo and Baamba’ have reacted to this statist policy with a variety of responses ranging from resistance to cooperation. This article discusses the interaction of Uganda with the Bakonjo and Baamba—the struggle between an indigen…

is very difficult and often ineffective. Corrupt bottom billion governments are usually egregious in the face of laws that they routinely violate, while their civil society reformers are weak and easily punished, as Collier himself notes. Also, even in the West, it is difficult, albeit not always impossible, to develop effective enforcements. Non-compliant profit driven actors have numerous ways of evading laws and regulations in spite of having …
