Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today, Western intervention is a ubiquitous feature of violent conflict in Africa. Humanitarian aid agencies, community peacebuilders, microcredit promoters, children's rights activists, the World Bank, the International Criminal Court, the U.S. military, and numerous others have involved themselves in African conflicts, all claiming to bring peace and human rights to situations where they are desperately needed. However, according to Adam Branch, Western intervention is not the solution to violence in Africa but, instead, can be a major part of the problem--often undermining human rights and even prolonging war and intensifying anti-civilian violence. Based on an extended case study of Western intervention into northern Uganda's twenty-year civil war, and drawing on Branch's own extensive research and human rights activism there, this book lays bare the reductive understandings motivating Western intervention in Africa, the inadequate tools it insists on employing, its refusal to be accountable to African citizenries, and, most important, its counterproductive consequences for peace, human rights, and justice. In short, Branch demonstrates how Western interventions undermine the efforts Africans themselves are undertaking to end violence in their own communities. The book does not end with critique, however. Motivated by a commitment to global justice, it proposes concrete changes for Western humanitarian, peacebuilding, and justice interventions as well as a new normative framework for re-orienting the Western approach to violent conflict in Africa around a practice of genuine solidarity. "A key strength of the book is its ability to analyse and reveal common patterns in seemingly disparate and complex empirical instances of counterproductive human rights interventions in Uganda. ... [T]his book should be required reading for all those working on various themes in Africa today."--The Journal of Modern African Studies "This book provides a pessimistic, but much needed, critique of the history of foreign intervention in Northern Uganda. ... Responsible discussions of foreign policy must consider the ways in which 'great power politics' can hurt people in the name of protection; this book is an excellent place to start that discussion." --The Christian Science Monitor

Book excerpt: My dissertation delves into the socio-political and symbolic effects of humanitarian aid in the African warzone of northern Uganda. In the course of the conflict, approximately 1.6 million Acholi were forcibly displaced to internal displacement (IDP) camps that were managed by humanitarian aid organizations. Instead of recounting a list of "unintended effects" of aid, my dissertation highlights how effects of aid in northern Uganda were actually understandable outcomes of a particular narrative and set of discourses about the conflict that were intentionally created and shaped. In order to provoke the international community to engage in the conflict in some way, a group of local and international actors launched a campaign that directed attention towards the humanitarian situation - not the political situation. This strategy unintentionally reinforced a particular narrative about the conflict that had countless political ramifications for international engagement in northern Uganda - including the International Criminal Court (ICC) indictments against the top commanders of the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA) and not the Ugandan military, construction of peace talks that characterized the LRA as a band of thugs with no political agenda, and the character of the humanitarian aid intervention operating under the assumption that the forced displacement was necessary to "protect" the Acholi. It also elicited a huge infusion of aid money creating an industry around a non-productive base - i.e. "humanitarianism"--And fostering a local economy solely dependent on producing "beneficiaries" and selling their "need" to donors.

Book excerpt: Is the West to blame for the agony of Uganda and its neighbors? In this powerful account of Ugandan dictator Yoweri Museveni's 30 year reign, Helen Epstein chronicles how Western leaders' single-minded focus on the War on Terror and their naïve dealings with strongmen are at the root of much of the turmoil in eastern and central Africa. Museveni's involvement in the conflicts in Sudan, South Sudan, Rwanda, Congo, and Somalia has earned him substantial amounts of military and development assistance, as well as near-total impunity. It has also short-circuited the power the people of this region might otherwise have over their destiny. Epstein set out for Uganda more than 20 years ago to work as a public health consultant on an AIDS project. Since then, the roughly $20 billion worth of foreign aid poured into the country by donors has done little to improve the well-being of the Ugandan people, whose rates of illiteracy, mortality, and poverty surpass those of many neighboring countries. Money meant to pay for health care, education, and other public services has instead been used by Museveni to shore up his power through patronage, brutality, and terror. Another Fine Mess is a devastating indictment of the West's Africa policy and an authoritative history of the crises that have ravaged Uganda and its neighbors since the end of the Cold War. "A stunning new book of reportage and analysis." --Pankaj Mishra, Bloomberg

Book excerpt: This dissertation investigates how post-conflict countries manage the reconstruction process to simultaneously consolidate political support and minimize new insurgencies. Focusing on subnational variation in the case of Uganda since 1986, I show how and when the central government has manipulated the provision of public goods (i.e., electricity), security (i.e., police infrastructure), and development (i.e., foreign aid projects) to achieve its twin political objectives of improving political support and minimizing violent threats to its rule. In making these distributive choices, I argue that incumbent rulers face what I call a “victor’s dilemma” in which they often must choose between allocating state resources to improve their short-term electoral interests or to invest in longer-term state-building projects that improve the state’s capacity. When armed and electoral opposition are concentrated in different geographic constituencies, resource-constrained governments will prioritize resource allocation disproportionately towards those areas considered a larger threat to their grip on power. On the whole, I demonstrate that Uganda’s allocation of essential state-related services and activities has been motivated largely by short-term interests to maintain political control rather than long-term state building efforts of reconstruction.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examines secondary traumatic stress (STS) among national humanitarian aid workers in the post-conflict context of northern Uganda. A cross-sectional survey measuring STS, primary and secondary trauma exposure, organizational and social support factors, as well as demographic and work-related factors, was completed by 376 national staff from 21 humanitarian organizations in northern Uganda. Results indicated that personal exposure to war-trauma, hearing about war-trauma from personal acquaintances, and hearing trauma stories from beneficiaries each accounted for unique variance in STS. Results support a dose-response relationship between listening to trauma stories and STS symptoms in national aid workers. Additionally, results indicated inverse relationships between STS and supervision, and STS and co-worker team cohesion. Organizational implications are discussed.

Book excerpt: Assessing Aid determines that the effectiveness of aid is not decided by the amount received but rather the institutional and policy environment into which it is accepted. It examines how development assistance can be more effective at reducing global poverty and gives five mainrecommendations for making aid more effective: targeting financial aid to poor countries with good policies and strong economic management; providing policy-based aid to demonstrated reformers; using simpler instruments to transfer resources to countries with sound management; focusing projects oncreating and transmitting knowledge and capacity; and rethinking the internal incentives of aid agencies.

Download or read book Does Development Aid Affect Conflict Ripeness? written by Lucie Podszun and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-08-27 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many developing countries find themselves in seemingly intractable internal conflicts, hindering them from moving on into a more stable, secure and wealthy environment. It seems that underdevelopment and conflict go hand in hand. Underdevelopment most often implies large streams of development aid channeled into countries at war. The work evaluates to what extent an increase in development aid affects conflict ripeness. The research shows that the effect is ambivalent: it depends on the conditions of provision whether it is positive or negative. In general, an ‘increase in development aid’ decreases the intensity of one of the ingredients to conflict ripeness: the mutually hurting stalemate. However, if embedded into a smart strategy, an ‘increase in development aid’ enhances the second ingredient to conflict ripeness: the sense of a way out. By that it counterbalances the negative effect and thus fosters the phase of ripeness, creating an ideal starting position for a subsequent peace process.
