Military coups are a constant threat in Africa and many former
military leaders are now in control of 'civilian states', yet the
military remains understudied, especially over the last decade.
Drawing on extensive archival research, cross-national data, and
four in-depth comparative case studies, When Soldiers Rebel
examines the causes of military coups in post-independence Africa
and looks at the relationship between ethnic armies and political
instability in the region. Kristen A. Harkness argues that the
processes of creating and dismantling ethnically exclusionary state
institutions engenders organized and violent political resistance.
Focusing on rebellions to protect rather than change the status
quo, Harkness sheds light on a mechanism of ethnic violence that
helps us understand both the motivations and timing of rebellion,
and the rarity of group rebellion in the face of persistent
political and economic inequalities along ethnic lines.
