TY - JOUR PY - 2010// TI - Limited War and the Ugandan Experience: Implications for African Security JO - African security A1 - Frkovich, James SP - 148 EP - 167 VL - 3 IS - 3 N2 - ABSTRACT Modern military theory has neglected to incorporate African examples in its discourse. This paper will attempt to address this issue arguing that the Clausewitzian idea of limited war serves as a useful lens though which warfare in one African country, Uganda, can be examined. By using limited war as a foundation of understanding, it becomes clear that warfare in Uganda, and much of Africa, is population centric and requires that the security of the civilian population be the center of gravity of military operations. Thus, this reality calls for a fundamental reexamination of military strategy in many African wars.
