Quinn1 Doctoral Candidate Department of Political Science McMaster University YCISS Working Paper Number 19 March 2003 The YCISS Working Paper Series is designed to stimulate feedback from other experts in the field. The series explores topical themes that reflect work being undertaken at the Centre. 1 I wish to thank Dr. Rhoda Howard-Hassmann of McMaster University for our on-going dialogue on this subject. I also gratefully acknowledge the support of Dr. William Coleman and the Institute on Globalization and the Human Condition of McMaster University, and of the International Development Research Centre in Ottawa, Canada. In the aftermath of a period of gross atrocity at the hands of the state, the restoration of the political and social fabric of a country is a pressing need. In the case of Uganda from the mid-1960s forward, this need was particularly real. Almost since the country had gained independence from Britain in 1962, a series of brutal governmental regimes had ransacked the country, and had viciously dealt with its inhabitants. Nearly thirty years of mind-numbing violence, perpetrated under the regimes of Idi Amin and Milton Obote, culminated in a broken society. Where once had stood a capable people, able to provide for themselves on every level, now was found a country whose economic, political, and social systems were seriously fractured. Under both Obote and Amin, as well as the transitional governments in place between and immediately following these regimes, democracy and the rule of law had been suspended.
