Mauritania and understandings of the historical, social, political
and geostrategic trajectories of the country have suffered from a
lack of in-depth study in the social sciences. Consequentially,
interpretations lacking in rigour in terms of their social
complexity have abounded. In order to break with the weak, clichd
and unsubtle analyses in this complex social space, this book
brings together contributions from leading Mauritanian scholars
engaged in a unique collaborative project with academics from
outside the country. This book aims to bring new perspectives to
the historically established disjuncture between the national and
international environments, and local, regional and global factors.
Long on the periphery of both academic research and international
attention, the countries of the West African Sahel currently find
themselves at the center of global concerns over security,
terrorism, migration, and conflict. Since the early 1990s the
Sahelian states have also been engaged in political struggles over
the construction of democratic institutions. Edited by Leonardo A.
Villalon and Abdourahmane Idrissa, Democratic Struggle,
Institutional Reform, and State Resilience in the African Sahel
addresses a key and little-studied question: How have the politics
of democratization across the Francophone Sahel shaped processes of
state-building, and with what effects on the resilience of state
institutions? Departing Starting from the premise that variation in
the politics of institution building and institutional
reform-although most frequently justified and debated in terms of
democratization-have differing impact on the construction of
resilient states , this book examines these processes in six
francophone states of the Sahel: Senegal, Mauritania, Mali, Burkina
Faso, Niger, and Chad. The contributors represent a set of
distinguished scholars from across the region, many of whom have
also been important actors in the struggles they analyze.
