Using testimonies and interviews of Rwandan political, military and economic leaders and bureaucrats, the book examines the intersubjective beliefs that formulate how Rwanda engages with the international community. The author presents and analyses three primary intersubjective themes of historical and possible future abandonment of Rwanda; promoting an ideology of agaciro which seeks Rwandans and the government to promote self-respect, dignity and self-reliance for state security and economic development; and the belief in the government's obligation to promote human security for those who identify as 'Rwandan'. Students and scholars of African politics and international relations, as well as the politics of post-genocide states will find this book of interest. This book examines how Rwandan elites within the government, private sector and civil society perceive the nation's political and economic relationship with the international community.
