Abstract EN

Africa has witnessed a surge of military coups since gaining independence, with these coups becoming a prominent means of political regime change, particularly in central and West Africa.

between 2020 and 2023, Africa experienced 8 successful coups, highlighting the need to investigate the multifaceted factors shaping the trajectory of military coups.

the most recent coup in Gabon in 2023 aimed to end the decades-long rule of the bongo family, characterized by dynastic succession policies.

this resulted in political stagnation, wealth concentration, and the postponement of democratic transitions.
