520 3 $aUnlike many of its neighbours, Zambian political history has been relatively stable since it gained independence in 1964. Despite a number of failed attempts by the military to overthrow the government, conflicts have generally been resolved through non-violent means, mostly through the courts, whose decisions are generally accepted. Currently, political stability rests on a fragile foundation, with widespread poverty and glaring social inequalities simmering below the surface. Political and social harmony may not be sustainable in the long term without a genuine and determined effort to promote political and social justice. The purpose of this study on Zambia is to present an overview of current trends, risks and opportunities for conflict mitigation.
