Abstract

Solutions to inequalities in society lie in mitigating structural inequalities. Many incumbent governments are able to manipulate constitutions with the goal of keeping political leaders and their cronies in power for extended periods of time. Executive branches of governments have thus been created so powerful that other branches essentially exist in name only, voiding any chance of a functioning system with a separation of powers. This edition looks at popular struggles for democracy, dominant parties, the process of democratization in Africa, child soldiers and irregular warfare, peacebuilding amid violence, and the relationships among violence and inequality and government failure.
