Unfortunately, after more than three decades of the “third wave of democratization” that began in the 1990’s, military coups remain a firm figure on the African political landscape. Although the Organization of African Unity (OAU) and its successor, the African Union (AU), have developed and implemented anti-coup norms, they have not deterred coup-makers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContributors to this volume analyze the major fault lines in the body politics of African states that have created the conditions for coup-making and offer suggestions for ending the cycle of coups. Using countries such as Burkina Faso, Cote d'Ivoire, Egypt, Mauritania, Sierra Leone, and Sudan as case studies, each chapter studies the causes, effects, and evolution of military coups in Africa in order to show that eliminating military coups will require identifying and addressing the root causes of the coup in each affected state.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart I: Background\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction: “No Farewell to Arms” in Africa?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGeorge Klay Kieh, Jr. and Kelechi Kalu\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 1: Coups d’etat: Theoretical Issues\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKelechi Kalu\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart II: Case Studies \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 2: Military Coup in Burkina Faso\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDaniel Eizenga\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 3: Governance, Democratization and Military Coups in Cote d’Ivoire\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHenry Kam Kah\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 4: The Military, the Developmental State and the 2013 Coup in Egypt\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eZeyad el Nabolsy\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 5: Post-Third Wave “Praetorianism” in Mauritania\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBoubacar N’Diaye\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 6: Post-1990 Military Coups in Sierra Leone\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUmar Salman Kamara\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 7: Military Intervention and the 2019 Coup in the Sudan\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBitrus Nuhu Mailabari\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart III: Toward the Prevention of Coups\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChapter 8: The African Union’s Anti-Coup Regime\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGeorge Klay Kieh, Jr.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart IV: Lessons and Insights\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eConclusion: Toward Caging the Coup “Genie” in Africa\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGeorge Klay Kieh, Jr. and Kelechi Kalu\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lexington Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51042682044759,"sku":"9781793643063","price":72.9,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781793643063.jpg?v=1750955158","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/democratization-and-military-coups-in-africa-post-1990-political-conflicts-9781793643063","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
