{"product_id":"political-governance-in-post-genocide-rwanda-filip-reyntjens-9781107043558","title":"Political Governance in Post-Genocide Rwanda","description":"Filip Reyntjens's new book analyzes political governance in post-genocide Rwanda and focuses on the rise of the authoritarian Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF). In the aftermath of the 1994 Rwandan genocide, the RPF has employed various means - rigged elections, elimination of opposition parties and civil society, legislation outlawing dissenting opinions, and terrorism - to consolidate power and perpetuate its position as the nation's ruling party. Although many international observers have hailed Rwanda as a \"success story\" for its technocratic governance, societal reforms, and economic development, Reyntjens complicates this picture by casting light on the regime's human rights abuses, social engineering projects, information management schemes, and retributive justice system.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Filip Reyntjens\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1107043557\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781107043558\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/30\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 315\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.10w x 0.90d","brand":"Filip Reyntjens","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48484272111871,"sku":"9781107043558","price":91.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7de6979a-29e8-4db9-9e11-abab5227fdea.jpg?v=1778043327","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/political-governance-in-post-genocide-rwanda-filip-reyntjens-9781107043558","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
