Description
How did African armed forces in postcolonial states in francophone West Africa influence decolonization and state-building in African states? Why did foreign assistance from foreign powers sometimes result in such weak and unstable governance? This book explores how after independence foreign powers sought to maintain or gain influence through military assistance, economic aid and close personal relations with political and military elites, while African leaders exploited the fears of their foreign partners to mobilize foreign aid and maintain personal power. Tracing the development of national militaries the author examines the impact of the military on the political and social formation of postcolonial states and increases in government control over the population and territory.
