商品描述

The book provides a fresh and innovative interpretation of the new government of Zimbabwe led by Emmerson Mnangagwa, which emerged in late 2017 after the downfall of Robert Mugabe. It demonstrates the contradictory character of the Mnangagwa government, involving both continuities and discontinuities in relation to Mugabe's regime . The temptation amongst Zimbabwean scholars has been to focus on the continuities and to dismiss the significance of any discontinuities, notably reform measures. This book adopts an alternative approach by identifying and focusing specifically on the existence of a formative project of the Mnangagwa's Second Republic, further analysing its political significance, as well as risks and limitations.

While doing so, the book covers topics such as reform measures, reconciliation, transitional justice, corruption, the media, agriculture, devolution, and the debt crisis as well as health and education. Discussing the limitations of these different reform measures, the book highlights that any scholarly failure to identify the risks of the project leads to an incomplete understanding of what constitutes the Mnangagwa's Second Republic. The book appeals to students, scholars and researchers of Zimbabwean and African studies, political science and international relations, as well as policymakers interested in a better understanding of political reform processes.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

這本書提供了對津巴布韋新政府的新詮釋，該政府由艾默森·姆南加古瓦領導，在羅伯特·穆加貝下台後於2017年底出現。它展示了姆南加古瓦政府的矛盾性，既包含與穆加貝政權的連續性，也包含斷裂性。津巴布韋學者往往傾向於關注連續性，並忽視任何斷裂性，尤其是改革措施的重要性。本書採取了一種替代方法，特別關注姆南加古瓦第二共和國的形成項目，進一步分析其政治意義以及風險和限制。

在這過程中，本書涵蓋了改革措施、和解、過渡正義、腐敗、媒體、農業、分權以及債務危機、健康和教育等主題。討論這些不同改革措施的限制，本書強調，學者未能識別項目風險導致對姆南加古瓦第二共和國的理解不完整。本書適合津巴布韋和非洲研究、政治科學和國際關係的學生、學者和研究人員，以及對政治改革過程有更好理解的政策制定者。
