Employing a historical institutionalist approach, the author considers independence struggles as formative moments and the nationalist period as a critical juncture in Uganda's historical experience. The analysis posits that the structure and dynamic of political organization\/participation adopted in the run up to independence and the responses by the colonial state laid the ground for \"movement politics\" and a path toward post-colonial autocratic rule.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eShedding light on how to deconstruct movement politics and consolidate democracy in Africa, this book will be of interest to scholars of African politics and democratization.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Atlantic Books","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46415931572375,"sku":"9780367694159","price":14450.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780367694159.webp?v=1769061395","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/colonial-legacies-and-regime-hegemony-in-uganda-9780367694159","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
