No wp-2022-142, WIDER Working Paper Series from World Institute for Development Economic Research (UNU-WIDER)

Abstract: The lack of political representation often lies at the origin of identity-based violence, and, when not resolved, can re-ignite violence. We study who perceives gains and losses in political representation in Rwanda and Burundi and why. We rely on a quantitative and qualitative analysis of over 700 individual life histories that cover the period 1985-2015.
