Inhaltsangabe
With permanent military rule widespread throughout Africa, it is clearly important to understand the role of the military in this continent. In Coups and Army Rule in Africa, published in 1976, Samuel Decalo examined four lesser-studied French-African states--the Congo, Benin, Uganda, and Togo--to discover what actually happened when military replaced civilian rule. He argued that African armies cannot be viewed as cohesive, Westernized hierarchies intervening in the political arena from altruistic motives but are instead coteries of cliques composed of ambitious officers seeking self-advancement. Military rule, said Decalo, has not necessarily fostered socioeconomic or political development or stability. Now in a new edition of his provocative book, Decalo defends his position, adding another case study, Niger, bringing the text up to date, and providing a new section on the constraints on military rule in each case study.

Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. 2nd Edition. Unread cloth hardcover, still sealed in publisher's original shrinkwrap. Upper and lower page edges affected by gentle age-spotting. Issued without a dust jacket. -- 2nd edition, xvii + 366 pages -- The book provides a comprehensive analysis of the military coups that have shaped the political landscape of Africa. Decalo investigates the underlying motivations behind these coups and the various constraints that have influenced their outcomes. Through detailed case studies, the book examines the role of the military in African politics, the impact of colonial legacies, ethnic tensions, and the quest for power. This scholarly work is essential for understanding the dynamics of military interventions in African governance and the complex interplay between politics and military rule. -- Samuel Decalo presents detailed evidence from Dahomey, Togo, Congo/Brazzaville, and Uganda that African military coups are engineered by coteries of cliques composed of ambitious officers seeking self-advancement. He successfully refutes prevailing theories that military rule has fostered socioeconomic or political development or stability. -- Contents: 1.
