The Rift Valley Institute will be holding its annual Great Lakes course in Kenya this year, between the 27 June and 3 July. You can apply <a href=\"http:\/\/riftvalley.net\/page\/rift-valley-institute-field-courses-2015\">here<\/a>. &nbsp;The Great Lakes Course covers the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), Rwanda and Burundi. The state and its institutions will be cross-cutting themes this year. In the DRC, the Course will look into the debates around the electoral process and the ongoing violence in the Kivus. For Burundi, the shrinking political space ahead of the 2015 elections and its impact on democratic processes will be examined. For Rwanda, the course will focus on the renewed stifling of opposition voices and the role of the state in a post-genocide context. The course is in English and French with simultaneous translation. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"is-core-heading-block wp-block-heading\" style=\"margin-top:5px;margin-bottom:10px;padding-top:0px;padding-bottom:0px\" id=\"syllabus\">Highlights of the syllabus<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:30px;padding-top:0px;padding-bottom:0px\" class=\"is-core-paragraph-block has-space-small-mb\">DAY&nbsp; 1: &nbsp;A history of land, violence and state-building in the region.<br>DAY&nbsp; 2: &nbsp;Rwanda: a state in a post-genocide context; memory and culture.<br>DAY 3: The DRC:&nbsp;what kind of state?
