Estado, Militarização, Buganda, Bunyoro, Grandes LagosResumo
The Great Lakes region, as a very densely populated region, has seen the development of some centralization process affecting its bigger kingdoms, which were in militar expansion during the 19th century. In this article we will focus on the colonial and postcolonial experience of these kingdoms inside Uganda. We will point out that the establishment of the colonial state supposed strengthen a bias to political exclusion as a way to keep power. This way of ruling sowed the seeds of the increasing political violence and civil wars experienced in postcolonial Uganda. In this process the state political institutions became subordinated to the army.Referências
