Coups, Rivals, and the Modern State: Why Rural Coalitions Matter in Sub-Saharan Africa
Rabinowitz, Beth S. (Rutgers University, New Jersey)
In states with weak institutions and strong ethno-regional challengers, consolidating politically by developing a strategic rural coalition is the necessary first step towards state building, economic development, and democratization. Through demonstrating this, Rabinowitz upends the long-held assumption that African leaders must only cater to urban constituents to secure their rule.
