Transforming Settler States: Communal Conflict and Internal Security in Northern Ireland and Zimbabwe Weitzer Ronald
In the past two decades, several settler regimes have collapsed and others seem increasingly vulnerable. Drawing on field research in Northern Ireland and Zimbabwe, Ronald Weitzer traces developments in internal security structures before and after major political transitions. This study examines the rise and demise of two settler states with particular emphasis on the role of repressive institutions of law and order.
For instance, since independence in 1980, the government of Zimbabwe has retained and fortified basic features of the legal and organizational machinery of control inherited from He concludes that thoroughgoing transformation of a repressive security apparatus seems to be an essential, but often overlooked, precondition for genuine democracy.In an instructive comparative analysis, Weitzer points out the divergent development of initially similar governmental systems.
