Ethnic Politics and State Power in Africa: The Logic of the Coup-Civil War Trap
Roessler, Philip (College of William and Mary, Virginia)
This book models the trade-off that rulers of weak, ethnically-divided states face between coups and civil war. Drawing evidence from extensive field research in Sudan and the Democratic Republic of the Congo combined with statistical analysis of most African countries, it develops a framework to understand the causes of state failure.
