Ethnicity and the Formation of the East African Political Federation: The Case of Uganda
(2014) Kasujja John Paul; Muwagga Anthony Mugagga; Tamale Maurice Bakaluba
East Africa is a multicultural region with diverse ethnic composition, and is comprised of a number of independent states namely; Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania, Rwanda, Burundi, and of recent Southern Sudan and Somalia have expressed interest in joining the East African Federation. These states have struggled to unite into one political, social and economic unit, however their contrasting cultural, ethnic and historical background; arising from their colonial experience, socio-political and economic environment has made the idea of a federation a challenging one. Inspite of the seeming novel and beneficial nature of the East African Federation, its process and realization has taken a painful slow pace. This study examined ethnicity as a salient feature to the political federation in East Africa, taking Uganda as a case study.
Ethnocentrism and National Elections in Uganda
(Uganda Martyrs Universityty, 2012) Kasujja John Paul; Muwagga Anthony Mugagga
The paper focuses on ethnocentrism as an active factor for national election turmoil in Uganda. The bewitchment of the military by ethnocentric virus, the subsequent coups and overthrows, to the military regimes and dictatorships by successive presidents since 1966, the 1980, 1996, 2001 and 2006 presidential elections, can account for ethnocentric tendencies in the Pearl of Africa. Thereafter, the paper discusses the 1996, 2001 and 2006 general elections held in Uganda before propounding implications for the country’s future.
The Implication of Ethnicity on the Formation of the East African Economic Federation: The Case of Uganda
(2014) Kasujja John Paul; Tamale Maurice Bakaluba; Muwagga Anthony Mugagga
The design of economic policies in East Africa that promote inter-ethnic cooperation remains poorly understood by the East African legislators, and the architectures of the East African Federation. This paper examines how central government economic policies towards ethnic diversity affect inter-ethnic relations in East Africa, putting emphasis on Uganda. Despite their largely shared geography, history and colonial institutional legacy, the post independent governments of East African states especially Uganda, have followed economically different radical ethnic policies along a range of national economic dimensions. This has caused economic inequality and regional imbalances, which have impacted on the prospects of the East African economic unity, thus forming the basis of this research.
