Description Contents Resources Courses About the Authors
Why are some African countries trapped in vicious cycles of ethnic exclusion and civil war, while others experience relative peace? In this groundbreaking book, Philip Roessler addresses this question. Roessler models Africa's weak, ethnically-divided states as confronting rulers with a coup-civil war trap - sharing power with ethnic rivals is necessary to underwrite societal peace and prevent civil war, but increases rivals' capabilities to seize sovereign power in a coup d'état. How rulers respond to this strategic trade-off is shown to be a function of their country's ethnic geography and the distribution of threat capabilities it produces. Moving between in-depth case studies of Sudan and the Democratic Republic of the Congo based on years of field work and statistical analyses of powersharing, coups and civil war across sub-Saharan Africa, the book serves as an exemplar of the benefits of mixed methods research for theory-building and testing in comparative politics.
Fills the gap in civil war literature on the strategic logic of why rulers choose policies that lead to large-scale political violence
Serves as an exemplar of how to combine qualitative and quantitative research methods for theory building and testing in comparative politics
Provides new insights into the origins of two of Africa's deadliest conflicts - the civil war in Darfur, Sudan and Africa's Great War in the Democratic Republic of the Congo

评分如果共享权力会带来置信问题,因为无法确定合作人的真是意图,不信任则可能促成自我实现预言带来合作方的政变。如果不合作则会带来其他种族的不满引发内战。所以根源的问题仍在于可信承诺,这点不算新颖了。 作者想从国家能力的范式中跳出来来,而不能达成制度妥协或者消灭叛乱者仍然是个国家能力问题
