BURNET ABSTRACT Across Africa, many countries have taken initiatives to increase the participation and representation of women in governance. Yet it is unclear what meaning these initiatives have in authoritarian, single-party states like Rwanda. Since seizing power in 1994, the Rwandan Patriotic Front has taken many steps to increase the participation of women in politics such as creating a Ministry of Gender, organizing women’s councils at all levels of government, and instituting an electoral system with reserved seats for women in the national parliament. This article explores the dramatic increase in women’s participation in public life and representation in governance and the increasing authoritarianism of the Rwandan state under the guise of ‘democratization.’ The increased political participation of women in Rwanda represents a paradox in the short-term: as their participation has increased, women’s ability to influence policy-making has decreased.

  • The Rwandan Genocide: Combating Stereotypes And
    The Rwandan Genocide: Combating Stereotypes and Understanding the Origins Nicola Skakel Senior Honors Thesis Department of History April 9th 2018 Defense Committee: Dr. Susan K. Kent, Department of History, Primary Advisor Dr. Matthew Gerber, Department of History, Honors Council Representative Dr. Paul Shankman, Department of Anthropology, Advisor 1 Introduction On the 7th of April 1994, the small east African country of Rwanda erupted into one of the most deadly and intimate genocides the modern world had ever witnessed. Whilst the western world stood by and watched in just 100 days over 800,000 Rwandans out of a total population of 7 million, were systematically murdered in the most brutal and violent of ways. Those who were targeted made up the country’s minority ethnic group the Tutsis, and moderates from the majority group, the Hutus. For many, the legacy of Rwanda is a monstrous example of extreme pent up ethnic tensions that has its roots in European colonialism. In contrast, I will argue that the events not just of 1994 but also the unrest that proceeded it, arose from a highly complex culmination of long-standing historical tensions between ethnic groups that long pre-dated colonialism. In conjunction, a set of short-term triggers including foreign intervention, civil war, famine, state terrorism and ultimately the assassination of President Habyarimana also contributed to the outburst of genocide in 1994. Whilst it would be easy to place sole responsibility on European colonists for implementing a policy of divide and rule and therefore exacerbating ethnic tensions, it seems to me that genocide is never that cut and dried: it can never be explained by one factor.

  • By Erika Tyagi
    Electoral Gender Quotas and Women’s Rights: A Multidimensional Approach to Representation Erika Tyagi Winter, 2015 Advisor: Professor Alfred Montero Abstract: The past two decades have witnessed a dramatic increase in the number of countries adopting electoral gender quota policies as a way of rapidly increasing female political representation. This research seeks to provide a framework for understanding why an increased presence of women in political institutions may or may not lead to improved women’s rights. This work argues that while quota policies may increase the number of women in politics, their actual political capacity is often constrained by broader institutional structures. Additionally, the symbolic, role model influence of these women often remains constrained by patriarchal legacies. Since 1991, more than 118 countries and territories have adopted electoral gender quotas as a way of promoting women’s political participation. Advocates of such policies frequently cite their tremendous positive implications, most notably claiming that placing women in positions of political power creates avenues for them to promote women’s rights, improving the status and conditions of women across society (Dahlerup & Freidenvall, 2005; Araujo & Garcia, 2006; Krook, 2006). However, little research has attempted to assess the extent to which this relationship—increased numbers of women elected to political institutions and substantive improvements for women across societies—has materialized when quota policies influence the electoral process.

Updates to Names, Titles, Affiliations received subsequently are not yet reflected in this document. Updated versions of the program integrating these updates will be uploaded to the site approximately every two weeks. The next update of the program will be made available online on July 31, 2019. All requests for revision of names, affiliations, or paper titles received by July 26, 2019 will be reflected in the subsequent version. Program Theme The theme of this year’s Annual Meeting is “Being, Belonging and Becoming in Africa.” While Africa is not and never has been homogenous or unitary, the existence of the ASA is predicated on the idea that there are things that distinguish “Africa” and “Africans” from other peoples and places in the world, and that those distinctions are worth studying. In a world increasingly preoccupied with tensions over localism, nationalism, and globalism, in which so many forms of essentialism are under existential attack (and fighting back), we hope that this theme will spark scholarly reflection on what it has meant and currently means for people, places, resources, ideas, knowledge, among others to be considered distinctly “African.” As scholars have grappled with the conceptual and material effects of globalization, the various disciplines of African Studies have also embraced transnational, international, and comparative approaches in recent decades.

  • The Democratic Challenge in Africa
    The Democratic Challenge in Africa The Carter Center The Carter Center May, 1994 Introduction On May 13-14, 1994, a group of 32 scholars and practitioners took part in a seminar on Democratization in Africa at The Carter Center. This consultation was a sequel to two similar meetings held in February 1989 and March 1990. Discussion papers from those seminars have been published under the titles, Beyond Autocracy in Africa and African Governance in the 1990s. During the period 1990-94, the African Governance Program of The Carter Center moved from discussions and reflections to active involvement in the complex processes of renewed democratization in several African countries. These developments throughout Africa were also monitored and assessed in the publication, Africa Demos. The letter of invitation to the 1994 seminar called attention to the need for a new period of collective reflection because of "the severe difficulties encountered by several of these transitions." "The overriding concern," it was further stated, "will be to identify what could be done to help strengthen the pluralist democracies that have emerged during the past five years and what strategies may be needed to overcome the many obstacles that are now evident." A list of 12 questions was sent to each of the participants with a request that they identify which ones they wished to address in their discussion papers. As it turned out, the choice of topics could be conveniently grouped in six panels. Following the seminar, 19 of the participants revised their papers for publication in this volume, while an additional four scholars (John Harbeson, Goran Hyden, Timothy Longman, and Donald Rothchild), who had been unable to attend the meeting, still submitted papers for discussion and publication.

The 1994 Rwandan Genocide: The Religion/Genocide Nexus, Sexual Violence, and the Future of Genocide Studies Kate E. Temoney Montclair State University Montclair, New Jersey, USA Abstract: In recent genocides and other conflicts—for example, the Sudan, Burma, and now Iraq—sexual violence and religion have received increasing but modest systematic treatment in genocide studies. This essay contributes to the nascent scholarship on the religious and sexual dimensions of genocide by providing a model for investigating the intersections among religion, genocide, and sexual violence. I treat the Rwandan genocide as a case study using secondary and primary sources and proffer the reinforcing typologies of “othering,” justification, and authorization as an investigatory tool.

Haberstock: The Effectiveness of the Gacaca Courts in Post-Genocide Rwanda Introduction The genocide that occurred in Rwanda in 1994 was but another sad and violent chapter in the nation’s history. In order to understand why the genocide occurred, it is necessary to look at the events in Rwanda’s past. Rwanda’s pre-colonial history is greatly disputed, and different parties tend to hold differing views, but regardless of the view, it is no disputed fact that Rwanda has been plagued with ethnic divisions since its earliest days as a colony and later as an independent nation. The need for transitional justice and reconciliation in Rwanda becomes apparent in light of the genocide. In countries like Rwanda, where catastrophic human rights abuses have occurred, systems must be set up in order to redress the abuses that took place.

He is recognised for a high reputation of teaching in various Universities globally, a Human Rights Researcher at the Center Fellow in California, Berkeley and Social Construction in Post-Rwanda Genocide. The Author starts by introducing Rwanda as one of the most Christian countries in Africa.
