Abstract
Military coups have been one of the most prominent features characterizing the political
landscape in Africa since independence. Many armies have resorted to the use of force as a
means of changing political regimes, under the pretext of correcting the course or protecting
the state from chaos and corruption. The Republic of Mali stands as a clear example of this
pattern of political transformation, having experienced several military coups since its
independence in 1960.
This study aims to examine military coups in Mali as a means of achieving political change,
through an analysis of the political, social, and economic contexts that paved the way for these
coups, as well as an understanding of the motives of the military actors. It also seeks to assess
the outcomes of these transformations on the stability of the state and its democratic structure.
The study concludes that military coups in Mali have often occurred as a reaction to
multiple crises, most notably political failure, corruption, and the deterioration of security
conditions—particularly with the rise of separatist movements in the north and the spread of
terrorist threats.
