Unlike so-called "democratic countries," the Chinese people value experience more than votes or other abilities for government officials. From the Sui Dynasty on (1400 years ago), officials were selected and promoted by examination, not by blood or birth. In today's China, if you want to enter politics, you have to take a hard and competitive road. Whether you come from a grassroots family or a political family, you have to go through every step. Only in this way, you can reach the top of power, like President Xi. First, you have to own a college degree, at least for most Chinese govt officials. You have to take the national civil service examination and be admitted. In 2019, 92000 people took the exam and 14537 were admitted, with the admission rate of 1.58%. The ruling party in China is the CPC. In addition, there are 8 other parties. You have to join one of them. If your ideal is to become the supreme leader of China, most Chinese join the CPC with 90 milli...

Several important developments that have continued to affect Uganda politics in the postcolonial period marked the period of colonial rule. First, British colonial rule nurtured the divide and rule policy which has remained the classic cleavage in the country. In particular, after the 1900 agreement between the British and Buganda Kingdom to protect the kingdoms civilization. The agreement gave Buganda a head start, especially in Western education, religion, trade and politics. Other kingdoms were shut off from much of the Westernizing influences to which Buganda was exposed. Baganda were seen as traitors for collaborating with the colonialists. Buganda declared its Independence on 1 January 1961—and it nearly tore the kingdom apart. It was a decision that provoked outcry throughout the kingdom, and for some in the Lukiiko.  The new Agreement of 1961 provoked immediate outcry throughout the kingdom, resulting in hundreds of petitions for the Lukiiko to resign.  God...

Yoweri Kaguta Museveni is the president of the Republic of Uganda since 1986. Museveni’s greatest achievement was to stabilize the political dispensation. This is reflected in three critical areas where Uganda’s state fragility was most reflected: incessant military coups and civil wars. Museveni ended these and reestablished the state’s monopoly over the exercise of violence. This allowed him to build a stable and continuous presidency that has lasted nearly three and a half decades. To achieve these aims, Museveni took effective personal control over the security apparatus and disciplined the army, making it subordinate to his personal will. He also ensured good relations with the western powers (much about this later), and established some degree of individual freedom. Museveni’s second greatest achievement has been to initiate economic growth and to sustain it over 34 years. Uganda’s economy has grown at an annual average rate of nearly 7% during...
