Abstract:
This paper examines new forms of
leadership that have developed in the latter part of the
twentieth century with the rise of 'anti-political' or
'neo-populist' leaders, most visibly in Latin America. The
paper considers whether these forms of leadership can be
observed in Africa, with particular reference to the rule of
Yoweri Museveni in Uganda since 1986.
