摘要

The end of the Cold War has resulted in a general tendency towards democratization all over the world. The United States and other Western countries such as France and Britain are determined to help African countries establish democratic institutions and improve good governance. The reluctance and instability of many African societies and regimes to democratize inspired the research questions of this thesis: (1) Why is Africa so vulnerable to military coups? (2) Why is political and economic modernization so difficult in Africa? (3) What is wrong with Africa? (4) Can Africans ever get out of their conflicts and integrate into the world political and economic systems? Scholars have suggested several explanations for Africa's political instability and military interventions including, political development theory, military centrality theory, ethnic antagonism theory, and world system/dependency theory. Although I do not rule out that any of these causal mechanisms have contributed to some extent to Africa's political instability. However, in my opinion, these theories underestimate the significant role played by the colonial experience in shaping African political culture. By using Chad and the Sudan as comparative case studies of former colonies of France and Britain, the thesis illustrates the relevance of my colonial-legacy theory. Chad and the Sudan are almost similar in every aspect except the former colonial power. Variations in the patterns of their civil-military relations are explained by variations in the nature of their colonial experiences.

(4)非洲人能否摆脱冲突并融入世界政治和经济体系?学者们对非洲的政治不稳定和军事干预提出了几种解释,包括政治发展理论,军事中心论,种族对抗理论和世界体系/依赖理论。尽管我不排除这些因果机制在某种程度上造成了非洲的政治不稳定。但是,我认为,这些理论低估了殖民经验在塑造非洲政治文化中所起的重要作用。通过使用乍得和苏丹作为法国和英国前殖民地的比较案例研究,论文说明了我的殖民地遗产理论的重要性。乍得和苏丹在各个方面几乎都是相似的,除了前殖民国。他们的军民关系模式的变化是通过其殖民经历性质的变化来解释的。
