	Civil-Military Relations in Botswana's Developmental State
		One of the worrying trends in the democratic discourse in Botswana is the overbearing influence of the military in politics.
		Pertinent to this discussion is the role of the military in the developmental affairs of Botswana.
		Botswana's "exceptionality," to use Kenneth Good's expression, as a frontrunner in democratic politics is based in part on the successful blending of the liberal democratic institutions with traditional institutions, which are based on bogosi (chieftainship).

	Botswana (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Debswana, the only diamond mining company operating in Botswana, is 50 percent owned by the government and generates about half of all government revenues.
		However, economic development spending was cut by 10 percent in 2002-2003 as a result of recurring budget deficits and rising expenditure on healthcare services.
		Some of Botswana's budget deficits can be traced to relatively high military expenditures (of roughly 4% of GDP in 2004, according to the CIA World Factbook), which some critics contend is unneccessary given the low likelihood of international conflict (though the Botswana government also makes use of these troops for multilateral operations and assistance efforts).
