The Congo war and the prospects for state formation: Rwanda and Uganda compared

Article Abstract:

The effects of the Congo war on state power in Rwanda and Uganda were analyzed and found that neither the Rwandan nor the Ugandan state was strengthened as a result of the war, which also means that the security threats against the regime can have the same effect on state formation as war had in early modern Europe. It is argued that the changes in the state system have altered the links between war and state formation.

Article Abstract:

Indigenous, tribal people in Bangladesh are being led into extinction by a combined effort of national and international interests. The Chittagong Hill Tracts are an apparent attempt to rescue these tribes but in fact the tribes are confined in such settlements to permit exploitation of a relatively unpopulated resource-rich region.
