How has this feat been possible, and what has been the trajectory of Museveni's increasingly autocratic rule? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSurveying that trajectory since 1986, the book takes as its primary focus the years since 2005; bringing to the fore the 'autocratic turn', placing it within a broader comparative lens, and enriching it with comparative references to cases outside of Uganda. While positing the notion of 'autocratic adaptability' as a defining hallmark of Museveni's rule, the book examines the factors and forces that have made that adaptability possible, analysing the dynamics around three keys themes: institutions, resources, and coalitions. Through empirical research, each chapter seeks to demonstrate how either one or two of these three variables have functioned in propelling autocratization and assuring regime resilience - producing theoretical and and comparative implications that reach beyond Uganda.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Moses Khisa\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1350323543\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781350323544\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Zed Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/21\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 1.00d","brand":"Moses Khisa","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46974575280383,"sku":"9781350323544","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f892f783-4635-4641-9052-24bc70d3279c.jpg?v=1750875431","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/autocratization-in-contemporary-uganda-moses-khisa-9781350323544","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
