And whilst the most dire predictions of AIDS leading to desta- bilization and state failure did not materialize, this volume is a forceful reminder of the considerable and ongoing impact of the epidemic on Africa’s security sector—and the impact of uniformed personnel on the epidemic. A diverse set of African scholars, policymakers and serving personnel explore these dynamics in select African countries, providing unique and important contributions to discourse and policy reform to halt the transmission of HIV in conflict, post-conflict, prisons and police settings.” Kent Buse, Senior Advisor to Executive Director, UNAIDS “This book provides significant policy options for overcoming the devas- tation of HIV/AIDS in the security sector in Africa and beyond.” Rebecca Cook, Chair in International Human Rights Law, Faculty of Law, University of Toronto “This book is a welcome addition to the often cited, but empirically thin, literature on the links between HIV/AIDS and security. By bringing to- gether an impressive array of African policy makers, scholars and senior military personnel, the book effectively paints a complex picture of a dis- ease that blurs the boundaries between national and human security.” Kelley Lee, Director of Global Health and Associate Dean of Research at the Faculty of Health Sciences, Simon Fraser University, and Professor of Global Health Policy at the Department of Global Health and Devel- opment, London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine “The book is without doubt a major contribution to the study of HIV/ AIDS and the security sector in Africa. Typically, HIV/AIDS infection rate among the military is more than twice that among the civilian popu- lation. The difference is often greater in times of conflict. This bears unique and powerful implications for development and security in Africa. The essays in the book simultaneously take stock, enrich our understand- ing of the problem and recommend ways of addressing the problem. This is an essential collection for all those engaged in the fight against HIV/ AIDS in Africa and elsewhere in the world.” Muna Ndulo, Professor of Law, Cornell University Law School and Di- rector, Cornell University’s Institute for African Development “The sub-Saharan African region has been the epicentre of HIV/AIDS since the mid to late 80s. Although the pandemic has begun to show signs of abating, nonetheless, it still blights the sub-Saharan region more than any other region. Understanding the impact of the pandemic on not just individuals, but also on the region’s socio-economic sectors continues to be an essential information base for developing and implementing sys- temic remedial responses. Without doubt, HIV/AIDS and the Security Sector in Africa, which is edited by Obijiofor Aginam and Martin Rupiya, fills an important gap in our understanding of the impact of the epidemic in a neglected sector – the security sector. The book is a systematic study of the impact of HIV/AIDS on the military, peacekeeping forces, the police and correctional services. Its contribution lies in not only compre- hensively mapping the impact of the pandemic, but also in meticulously defining the gaps as well as challenges, and advancing possible remedies at both national sub-regional and regional levels using a multidisciplinary approach. The book, which is forward looking, is a most welcome contri- bution. It should be essential reading for those wishing to acquaint them- selves with a multidisciplinary approach to understanding the intersection between HIV/AIDS and the region’s security sector. The contributors to HIV/AIDS and the Security Sector in Africa display an enormous range of expertise and insights across a whole range of fields, including epide- miology, public health, economics, security needs, policy, law and human rights.” Charles Ngwena, Professor, Director of LLM Programme on Reproduc- tive and Sexual Rights, Faculty of Law, University of the Free State, South Africa Contents Figures . x Tables . xi Contributors . xii Acknowledgements . xiv Introduction . 1 Obijiofor Aginam and Martin R.

  • Ethnicity and the Politics of Land Tenure: Reform in Central Uganda
    Working Paper Series ISSN 1470-2320 2005 No.05-58 Ethnicity and the Politics of Land Tenure Reform in Central Uganda: Elliott D. Green Published: April 2005 Development Studies Institute London School of Economics and Political Science Houghton Street Tel: +44 (020) 7955 7425/6252 London Fax: +44 (020) 7955-6844 WC2A 2AE UK Email: [email protected] Ethnicity and the Politics of Land Tenure Reform in Central Uganda Elliott D. Green1 Development Studies Institute London School of Economics [email protected] 1. Introduction Land tenure reform is certainly one of the most divisive yet important topics in Sub-Saharan Africa today. For countries with high rural populations and high population growth rates, an efficient and fair land tenure system is commonly seen as necessary in order to alleviate poverty and reduce conflict.2 Yet in the central Uganda region of Buganda land tenure has been a heated issue ever since the British created a grossly unequal land tenure system in 1900 that gave large tracts of land to the political elite while turning most Baganda into tenant farmers. While there has been limited success over the past century in limiting the powers of landlords, the system itself has remained. Indeed, Bugandan landlords have been one of the strongest forces in opposition to current attempts at land reform by the ruling National Resistance Movement (NRM), led by President Yoweri Museveni. Recent analyses of land tenure reform in Africa often stop here, limiting discussions to landlords and rural elites on one hand vs. the central government and donors on the other.

  • VOLUME 3 EDITION 1 (2014) Welcome to the Journal of Sierra Leone Studies. This Is the Fi
    THE JOURNAL OF SIERRA LEONE STUDIES – VOLUME 3 EDITION 1 (2014) Welcome to The Journal of Sierra Leone Studies. This is the first Journal dedicated solely to Sierra Leone to have been published for a long time. We hope that it will be of use to academics, students and anyone with an interest in what for many is a rather ‘special’ country. The Journal will not concentrate on one area of academic study and invites contributions from anyone researching and writing on Sierra Leone to send their articles to: John Birchall for consideration. Prospective contributions should normally be between 3500- 10,000 words in length, though we will in special circumstances consider longer articles and authors can select whether they wish to be peer reviewed or not. Articles should not have appeared in any other published form before. We also include a section on items of general interest – it hoped that these will inform future generations of some of the events and personalities important to the country. The Editorial Board reserves the right to suggest changes they consider are needed to the relevant author (s) and to not publish if such recommendations are ignored. We are particularly interested to encourage students working on subjects specifically relating to Sierra Leone to submit their work. Thank you so much for visiting The Journal and we hope that you (a) find it both interesting and of use to you and (b) that you will inform colleagues, friends and students of the existence of a Journal dedicated to the study of Sierra Leone.
