Online resources: Summary: "Through rich new case studies of the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Cameroon, and Rwanda, this open access book takes an important step in de-Westernizing civil-military relations theory. Bachmann demonstrates how and why most African militaries never developed into professional armies. Instead, they have generally remained quasi-armies in the context of the quasi-states that established themselves after independence. This book is a must-read for researchers and students of African Studies and International Development, and it is of keen interest to peace practitioners in post-conflict environments"--PPN: PPN: 1916231349Package identifier: Produktsigel: ZDB-94-OAB
