التحول الديمقراطي في موريتانيا

Abstract EN

The democratic transition in Mauritania is considered a successful experience in comparison with the rest of the Arab experiences.

Yet, Mauritania only reached this successful transition after a lengthy period of labor, in which a number of factors, both internal and external, converged to bring it about.

These factors did not occur all at once, but emerged in different stages that supported Mauritania’s successive democratic transitions that allowed it to bypass the list of authoritarian countries to be included as a hybrid country in the 2021 Democracy Index.

However, this experience is still faced with many obstacles, which democratic consolidation in Mauritania is dependent on overcoming them.
