<p>This book presents the reality of democratic reversals and waves of coups cutting through</p><p>Africa, explores the political economy of coups, and through a case study</p><p>approach, provides a nuanced analysis of the negative impacts of coups in</p><p>Africa, and interrogates the roles of African regional organisations in</p><p>curtailing coups and foreign powers in distorting the security architecture of</p><p>African states, particularly in the Sahel region. It proffers sustainable</p><p>policy templates for political development, professionalism of the military,</p><p>and the subsequent withdrawal of the military from African politics. Apart from</p><p>its policy relevance, it will serve as a resource pool for researchers working</p><p>in the area of African political development, peace and security, and security</p><p>sector reforms. With the incremental exit of France from the Sahel, the book</p><p>will also offer a nuanced perspective on the ‘scramble for the soul’ of the</p><p>Sahel by non-Western powers, such as China, Russia, Turkey, and Saudi Arabia.</p><p><br></p>
