Abstract

The subject of revolutionary overthrow of constitutional orders in Africa is at the intersection of three disciplines: jurisprudence and legal philosophy, constitutional law and power politics, and civil-military relations, that is, military security policy which is one aspect of national security policy. The subject is of interest in at least four ways. It problematizes the inescapable question of governance in the African continent. It challenges the democratization agenda in Africa ñ how does one democratize not only political governance but also the instruments of violence in the state? It

Abstract

This book examines the role of war in shaping the African state, society, and economy. Richard J. Reid helps students understand different patterns of military organization through Africa's history; the evolution of weaponry, tactics, and strategy; and the increasing prevalence of warfare and militarism in African political and economic systems. He traces shifts in the culture and practice of war from the first millennium into the era of the external slave trades, and then into the nineteenth century, when a military revolution unfolded across much of Africa. The repercussions of that revolution, as well as the impact of colonial rule, continue to this day. The frequency of coups d'états and civil war in Africa's recent past is interpreted in terms of the continent's deeper past.

Abstract

Après la vague de dictatures qui s’abat sur l’Amérique latine dans les années 1960-1970, les années 1980-1990 ont vu le reflux des régimes autoritaires avec les « transitions à la démocratie ». Mais, paradoxalement, les militaires sont restés des acteurs importants de la scène politique. D’abord, dans les pactes et les négociations avec leurs opposants: avec la fin de la guerre froide, et souvent face à des crises économiques et financières considérables, les militaires, las et/ou repus, remettent le pouvoir aux civils. Mais les passations de pouvoir, bien que s’effectuant par l’organisation d’élections libres, auront un prix souvent élevé: impunité pour les crimes de la dictature et intangibilité des rapports économiques et sociaux. Puis, plusieurs militaires vont arriver au pouvoir légalement, par les urnes: le plus surprenant étant sans doute l’ancien dictateur Hugo Banzer en Bolivie, suivi par le plus controversé, Hugo Châvez au Venezuela. Mais les forces armées peuvent également rester maître du jeu politique sans être en première ligne: ce fut le cas au Pérou avec le régime autoritaire civil de Fujimori ; c’est aussi vrai en Equateur mais sous une autre forme, plus complexe. Par ailleurs, les militaires se reconvertissent aujourd’hui dans l’économie avec les « complexes militaro-industriels » et dans les entreprises privées de sécurité. Ils se redéploient également vers les missions de police, de douane et de renseignement, sur le terrain de la lutte antiterroriste et contre le narcotrafic. Si, aujourd’hui, il n’y a ni espace ni projet de prise de pouvoir par les militaires, la question du rôle et de la place des forces armées dans les États se pose cependant avec acuité. Mais ces questions se posent comme en creux : à la fois présents et absents, les militaires restent comme une menace pour la société tant que celleci ne se sera pas emparé de la seule question qui vaille au fond : à quoi servent les militaires, sinon à faire la guerre ?

Abstract

"While coups drive a majority of regime changes and are responsible for the overthrow of many democratic governments, there has been very little empirical work on the subject. Seizing Power develops a new theory of coup dynamics and outcomes, drawing on 300 hours of interviews with coup participants and an original dataset of 471 coup attempts worldwide from 1950 to 2000. Naunihal Singh delivers a concise and empirical evaluation, arguing that understanding the dynamics of military factions is essential to predicting the success or failure of coups. Singh draws on an aspect of game theory known as a coordination game to explain coup dynamics. He finds a strong correlation between successful coups and the ability of military actors to project control and the inevitability of success. Examining Ghana's multiple coups and the 1991 coup attempt in the USSR, Singh shows how military actors project an image of impending victory that is often more powerful than the reality on the ground. In his close analysis of ten coups in Ghana from 1967 to 1981, Singh identifies three distinct points of coup origination: coups from top military officers, coups from the middle ranks, and mutinous coups from low-level soldiers."--Publisher's website.

Abstract

"On July 15, 2016, a faction of the Turkish military tried to overthrow the government of President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. The attempt failed. The Turkish government blamed the attempted coup on Gülenists, followers of an Islamist movement led by Fethullah Gülen, who had helped Erdoğan and his AK Party get elected and bring an ostensibly 'soft' version of Islam into the secular Turkish government. In alliance with the AK Party, Gülenists over time became widely represented in various government institutions, including the military and police. This volume focuses on the Gülen Movement and its possible role in the failed coup, providing historical and sociopolitical context for what may have led to this conflict. Editors Yavuz and Balcı were among the first to study the movement from its beginning. They and other contributors have spent time in Turkey, Central Asia, and the Balkans examining various dimensions of Gülenist activity as the movement became a major economic and educational force in Turkey and elsewhere. Startled by the 2016 coup attempt, a group of scholars who had studied the Gülenists came together to discuss how and why the once-restrained movement became belligerent opponents of Erdoğan's government. This book is a product of their exchanges and it addresses questions such as: what did researchers fail to see in their earlier studies and how will this major disruption in Turkey affect the future of the movement?"--Provided by publisher.
