NEW TIME: Reincarnation of Military Coups in Africa

Africa is facing the third wave of military coups, posing serious threats to the institutionalisation of politics and power.

What characterises these coups and what is causing their resurgence? How best should critical stakeholders respond to the challenge and restore sustainable democratisation?

Welcome to a guest lecture with Dr. J. Shola Omotola.

Inge Amundsen (CMI) will be moderator.

The lecture will take place at Bergen Global (Jekteviksbakken 31) and is open to all.

J. Shola Omotola is a professor of political science at the Federal University Oye-Ekiti, Nigeria and the 2023 Claude Ake Visiting Chair at the Nordic Africa Institute and the Department of Peace and Conflict Research, Uppsala University, Sweden. He specialises and has published on comparative African institutions and democratisation.
