Between Militarism and Technocratic Governance: State Formation in Contemporary Uganda

This study explores state-civil society relations in contemporary Uganda, from
1986 to the present, in order to illustrate and explain the scope for and capacity
of different social forces to create access to and democratise the state. The
study interrogates state-civil society relations under the incumbent National
Resistance Movement government as these are expressed through forms of
interest representation and conflict regulation in different political arenas. It
analyses this problem through an empirical study of the health sector at both
national and local levels.
