Social Structures and the Making of Museveni's Civil-Authoritarian Regime in Uganda

This book explores the resilience and longevity of President Yoweri Museveni’s regime in Uganda, tracing the evolution of the National Resistance Army (NRA) from a victorious insurgency into one of Africa’s most enduring regimes. It challenges the assumption that the NRA’s 1986 victory in Uganda marked a complete institutional rupture. Instead, the book argues that the NRA —later institutionalized as the National Resistance Movement (NRM)—governed within a residual social landscape shaped by entrenched traditional monarchies, religious institutions, landed elites, and historic political parties that survived Uganda’s civil wars. Confronted with these deeply rooted social forces, the NRM regime was compelled to fuse coercion with co-optation, selective patronage, and strategic concessions. This hybrid approach produced a civil-authoritarian order in which political control is sustained not only through repression, but also through co-optation, negotiation, and accommodation of powerful societal interests. By foregrounding the interplay between state power and enduring social structures, the book contributes to comparative debates on authoritarianism, state-building, and post-conflict governance in Africa and beyond.

In this book, José Rente Nascimento explores the economic, environmental, social, and cultural dynamics of the Amazon. The book weaves five centuries of transformation, highlighting geographical conditions, Amerindian resource stewardship, the rubber boom, postcolonial policies, and today’s development pressures. Spanning infrastructure, mining, ranching, and agricultural expansion, the book analyzes Amazonian challenges within their historical context.
Drawing on lessons from both failed policies and successful initiatives, Nascimento addresses urgent contemporary issues, including deforestation, indigenous welfare, land tenure, forest-based development, and the complex balance between environmental protection and sustainable growth.
More than a historical account, this book presents a conceptual framework that links past trajectories to present challenges, providing an essential and inspiring resource for students, policymakers, researchers, and all those seeking to learn from Amazonia’s history to secure its sustainable future.

The Amazonian Odyssey

Migration, Diasporas and Citizenship

‘This important new book reminds us that economics is only part of the story of human movement. As the rich and thoughtful chapters demonstrate, migrants participate in communities of care that are always complex, sometimes subversive and often gendered. With examples from across the world, this collection offers an insightful discussion of ethics, politics and emotions that is a valuable contribution to our understandings of migration, care and community.’
—Raelene Wilding, Professor of Sociology, La Trobe University, Australia
‘Francisco Menchavez and Williams Veazey’s edited collection is a masterpiece. It brings together scholars and scholar-activists from different global regions to unpack the varied manifestations of “communities of care” globally. … This volume is a must-read for those who are interested in seeing other ways of doing and being in a world that is increasingly dominated by authoritarian and fascist values.’
—Ethel Tungohan, Canada Research Chair and Associate Professor of Politics, York University.
This interdisciplinary edited volume for scholars of migration, transnationalism and care provides a unique, praxis-informed perspective on the often-unrecognised labour of care given and received between migrants. Organised under the concept of “Communities of Care in Migration”, this book explores local and transnational relationships and practices of care as collectively produced and enacted in the lives of migrants in diverse contexts, including the USA, Canada, Australia, South Africa, Asia, Europe, and online. Leading and emerging scholars, community organisers and practitioners in migrant-focused NGOs from across the world draw on a range of methodological techniques, including qualitative interviews, ethnography, policy analysis, participatory action research and content analysis, to offer a fresh look on migration in action.&nbsp;

Communities of Care in Migration

The purpose of this book is to reevaluate the dynamic management thought of M. P. Follett (1868–1933) and recreate it for the construction of a new society after the COVID-19 era. Here, the focus is especially on the main concept of her dynamic social process concept, "interweaving", and showing its current applicability. It should also be noted that the time Follett created this concept was when the 1918 pandemic ("Spanish flu") struck Boston. Based on her academic background in political science, philosophy, history, psychology, and related disciplines, Follett had many years of practical experience as a social worker in Boston and advocated a social view based on the dynamic interaction of individuals. It included "rebuilding social relations", "social development as a continuous process", and "creating a community experience through the interweaving of individual experiences". One of the important issues that COVID-19 poses is the breaking and restructuring of human relations in communities and societies. The author believe¿ that such an issue could be easily resolved by information and communications technology (ICT) networks. While it is a powerful tool, we are now aware that it also has the effect of isolating individuals and inciting conflicts. The author applies Follett’s ideas to approach such problems.

In this book, her perspectives on the "interweaving process of experience" and its position are emphasized as important concepts for creating new communities for the post-COVID-19 era. Expressed symbolically, they correspond to interweaving experiences in the internet society.

Sustainability in Latin America: A Bioeconomic Approach explores the bioeconomy through theories, methodologies, and case studies rooted in specific contexts across Latin America. Rather than attempting to compile or generalize a singular vision of a Latin American bioeconomy, it highlights diverse experiences that reflect the region’s complexity. By its very nature, the bioeconomy is both multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary. Accordingly, the book features contributions from various fields, offering a rich, multifaceted understanding of bioeconomic practices. For instance, Chapter 1 revisits Georgescu-Roegen’s theory through a fresh lens, enriched by new multidisciplinary insights into territorial and sociocultural dynamics. This approach opens up possibilities for rethinking consumption patterns, fostering sustainable technologies, and strengthening community development.

This book presents a detailed study of Brazil's structural problems and offers suggestions for managing them. It is organized into two parts. The first part provides a foundation in Brazilian socio-economic dynamics, discussing regional diversity, economic inequalities, access to education, and global commodity supplies from the country's agribusiness. The second part describes contemporary realities in the business and management sector, such as entrepreneurship, small businesses, and incubators, the country's financial system, its international presence, and its present and future challenges. The need for academic literature to support discussions on Brazilian issues is also addressed. The original research presented here may be helpful as a supplementary text in instructional settings.
