Conversations in Conflict Studies presents: Audie Klotz

"Zimbabwe – Past Imperfect, Future Tense," with Audie Klotz, Professor of Political Science. Controversial elections in 2013 launched Zimbabwe into another phase of its on-going upheaval. Did the government unduly interfere to fix the outcome? Should sanctions continue? By concentrating only on elections, however, much of the media coverage and political commentary misconstrues the tensions and misses their deeper roots. Therefore, we will go back as far as the Rhodesian period and add regional dynamics for a broader understanding of land reform and other issues at stake.
