The stability of the electron drift wave is investigated in the presence of E×B plasma rotation typical of the central cell plasma in tandem mirrors. It is shown that a rotationally driven drift wave may occur at low azimuthal mode numbers. Conditions for rotational instabilities are derived. Quasilinear formulas are given for the anomalous transport associated with the unstable fluctuations.
