Opposition party institutionalisation in authoritarian settings
This article analyses the process of institutionalisation among Ugandan opposition parties and highlights the tensions at play between party institutionalisation and broader party goals in authoritarian settings. Based upon qualitative research conducted between 2016 and 2023, we offer a historical analysis of the steps towards institutionalisation–understood as a process, rather than a state–taken by two Ugandan parties: the Forum for Democratic…
Coups d'état et réactions populaires au Burkina Faso
Le 30 septembre 2022, un nouveau coup d'État frappait le Burkina Faso - le deuxième de l'année 2022 - et suscitait l'indifférence de nombreux Burkinabè, et l'enthousiasme de certains. Comment expliquer ce regain de popularité des régimes militaires, qui met à mal les espoirs de consolidation démocratique nés de l'insurrection de 2014 ? Dans cet article, nous nous intéressons au contexte dans lequel ces coups se sont déroulés pour mettre en lumièr…

In October 2014, a popular uprising ousted President Blaise Compaoré of Burkina Faso. He had been trying to alter the constitutional term limits preventing him from seeking another term in office. This chapter analyses these events by focusing on three inter-related political opportunity structures. First, a strong historical legacy of protests strengthened the political platform put forward by the opposition, contributing to shape a deep anti-in…
Security as a campaign issue
Despite recent research suggesting that African parties engage with substantive issues more than was previously thought, the nature of issue mobilization and the drivers of programmatic appeals on the continent remain under-explored. This article analyses how presidential candidates addressed the issue of security during the 2020 election campaign in Burkina Faso – a country faced by a growing armed insurgency since 2016 – in order to understand …
Opposition in a hybrid regime
Despite growing interest in party politics in Africa, the activities and roles of African opposition parties are still underexplored, especially in the context of one-party-dominant ‘hybrid’ regimes where they are allowed to operate but face a myriad of constraints. In these settings, opposition parties face a common dilemma: having to participate in the regime’s institutions and protest against them at the same time. Existing frameworks fail to …
