Abstract: Since the coups d'État that occurred in Mali, Guinea, Burkina Faso and Niger between 2020 and 2023, West African civil societies have been confronted with an unprecedented authoritarian recomposition. Between co-optation, instrumentalisation and strategic retreat, civic spaces are closing, while civil society actors are pressed either to remain silent, to rally, or to disappear. This book offers a rigorous comparative analysis of contemporary forms of neutralising counter-powers within military transition regimes. Drawing on field investigations, typologies and cross-readings, it examines the trajectories, deadlocks and resilience strategies of civil society. It provides a lucid and uncompromising look at democratic illusions, the contradictions of official patriotism, and the tensions between citizenship, silence and survival.
