| Title | The failure of regime consolidation in Ivory Coast after 1990 |
| Summary | The research attempts to provide an answer to a question why Ivory Coast – the most stable single-party regime among former French West African colonies – was failing to consolidate legitimate and stable regime after the third wave of democratization? It applies insights from elite theory on consensually unified elite formation and locates them within transition scenarios to draw a link between the logic of scenario and its implications for consensually unified elite formation. Then we use secondary sources, descriptive statistical information and interviews to reconstruct major developments within Ivorian elites to investigate the case of Ivory Coast. The investigation has revealed that regime opening emerged in favor of incumbents and it was the break of the historic “pact” between Akan and Malinke, which could explain regime legitimacy crises. |
