Summary

Dieser Band untersucht die politische Ökonomie von Gewaltkonflikten im post-kolonialen Ostafrika und entwickelt einen gegenüber der bestehenden Literatur abweichenden, Rational Choice-basierten Erklärungsansatz. Im Anschluss werden die zukünftige politische Entwicklung der Region sowie Handlungsoptionen für die internationale Gemeinschaft diskutiert.
