Download or read book Coup D tat in Africa written by Nicole Godfrey and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2023-09 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Military coups have been a major obstacle to democracy and development in Africa for decades. In recent years, there has been a resurgence of coups, with countries such as Mali, Guinea, Burkina Faso, Niger, and Sudan all experiencing military takeovers. This book examines the causes, consequences, and prevention of military coups in Africa. It argues that coups are a complex phenomenon with multiple causes, but that three key factors are often present: Weak political institutions: Countries with weak political institutions, such as a lack of separation of powers or an independent judiciary, are more vulnerable to coups. Economic decline: Economic decline can lead to popular discontent and provide an opportunity for the military to intervene. Ethnic or religious divisions: Countries with deep ethnic or religious divisions are more likely to experience coups, as the military can be used to suppress dissent or to seize power in the name of a particular group. The book also examines the consequences of military coups. Coups can have a devastating impact on a country's political stability, economic development, and human rights. They can also lead to civil wars and other forms of violence. This book concludes by discussing the challenges of preventing military coups. No single solution, but a combination of measures, such as strengthening political institutions, promoting economic development, and reducing ethnic and religious divisions, can help to reduce the risk of coups. This book "Coup d'État in Africa is a valuable resource for anyone interested in understanding the causes, consequences, and prevention of military coups in Africa. It is also a timely book, as the continent has experienced a recent resurgence in coups.
Download or read book Economic Crisis in Africa written by Magnus Blomström and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2002-01-22 with total page 417 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While the pitiful images of famine victims generally emanate from the very poorest countries in Sub-Saharan Africa, the entire region faces an intense economic crisis. Why is this area in a state of near-permanent crisis and perhaps more importantly, what can be done about it? In Economic Crisis in Africa the authors use country studies to examine how this situation has come about. The book is divided into four parts: Part I presents an overall perspective of the African Crisis and its management; Part II addresses the problems of the external sector; Part III discusses the crises and structural adjustment from a microperspective; and finally, Part IV examines changes in economic systems which took place during the 1980s. At a time when famine again threatens the area, this work offers a valuable insight into a highly complex and critical situation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Governance and Crisis of the State in Africa explores the problems and challenges of disruptive conflicts and conflict management in West Africa. Based on a robust analysis of a large stock of theoretical and empirical studies on the nature of the state in Africa and the incidents of state failure, fragmentation and collapse, the author argues that a major explanation of state weakness in Africa is the lack of the imperatives of good governance - itself rooted in the trajectory of the emergence of these states. Using the recent internal wars and ongoing conflicts in some West African states such as Liberia, Sierra Leone, Guinea, Guinea- Bissau and Cote d'Ivoire as case studies, the author explains how the use of inappropriate methods of conflict management exacerbates these conflicts and the crisis of the nation-state in Africa. ________________ John Emeka Akude holds a PhD in political science from the University of Cologne, Germany where he teaches African Politics, Politics of Development and International Political Economy. His research interests include political economy, the state and economic development, conflict studies, state collapse and war economies as well as the transformation of political order. His publications include "Krisen und Krisenmanagement in Afrika", Zwischen Wunschdenken und Ohnmacht: Der Anspruch der Afrikanischen Union auf Konfliktmanagement in Afrika", "Bad Governance and State Collapse in Africa" as well as "Weak States and Security Threats in West Africa".

Download or read book The Great Power Struggle for Africa The Crisis in Mali written by Fouad Farhaoui and published by International Strategic Research Organization (USAK). This book was released on with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The crisis is an outgrowth of the colonial period which had strained and eventually torn the social fabrics of the region. French colonial policies regarding education, administration, an economics had contributed to a competitive and divisive atmosphere. Now, Mali suffers from widespread ethnic separatism. The socialist regime of newly-indepenent Mali failed to reconcile the alienated communities of the northern regions. The peoples of the south, too, were dissatisfied with their oppressive government–something which deepend the young country’s political crisis. This environment produced the so-called “Tuareg rebellion”. The fierce clashes in the early stages of the rebellion and the drought in Mali’s northern regions led to massive migrations of Tuaregs to neighbouring countries. Changes in the regional environment in the 1990s brought new dimensions to the crisis. The Algerian Civil War, the end to the war in Afghanistan, and the Libyan embargo precipitated the spread of terrorism, trafficking, the drug trade, and cross-border criminal networks. Collectively, these phenomena created a new constellation of power in northern Mali. The international economic crisis and the developments known as the “Arab Spring”, along with shifting geo-strategic dynamics in the Indian and Pacific Oceans, have pushed Africa into an arena for international disputes and rivalries. Mali has been one of the foremost countries to be affected. Transformations at the global level have pressured most governments to defend their traditional interests. Some powers, in contrast, have been scanning for openings and opportunities in the weaknesses of others. BRICS have thus managed to emerge as new powers on the African continent traditionally dominated by France, the U.K., and to a lesser extent, the U.S.

Book excerpt: ¿Provides a lucid approach to assessing the factors that create vulnerabilities, or possibilities for resilience, in the face of crisis ... complemented by rich empirical country chapters and clear policy recommendations.¿ ¿Rachel Beatty Riedl, Northwestern University Although large-scale conflicts, political upheavals, and social violence are common problems throughout Africa, individual countries vary greatly in both their susceptibility to these crises and their capacities for responding effectively. What accounts for this variance? How do crises emerge, and how are they resolved? When are unexpected events most likely to spiral into crisis? Are there institutions and policies that can help to manage adverse shocks? The authors of Coping with Crisis in African States assess the capability for crisis management in countries across the continent, shedding new light on the sources of instability in the region, as well as on comparative questions of state capacity and resilience. Peter M. Lewis is associate professor and director of the African Studies Program at Johns Hopkins University¿s School of Advanced International Studies. John W. Harbeson is emeritus professor of political science at the City University of New York Graduate Center and the City College of New York.
