Books by Filip (Universiteit Antwerpen Reyntjens

Filip Reyntjens's book analyzes political governance in post-genocide Rwanda and focuses on the rise of the authoritarian Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF). While many have hailed Rwanda for its successful bureaucratic governance, Reyntjens complicates this picture by looking more closely at the regime's activities.

This book examines a decade-long period of instability, violence and state decay in Central Africa from 1996, when the war started, to 2006, when elections formally ended the political transition in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). It offers a toolkit for understanding the past and future of Central Africa.
