Description
Seizing Power: A New Theory of Coup Dynamics and Outcomes explores how military coups succeed or fail. Drawing on 300 hours of interviews with coup participants and an original dataset of 471 coup attempts worldwide from 1950 to 2000, Naunihal Singh develops a concise and empirical evaluation of the subject. The author identifies three distinct types of coup dynamics, each with a different probability of success, based on where within the organization each coup originated. He also examines how military actors project an image of impending victory that is often more powerful than the reality on the ground. This analysis sheds new light on the complexities of military coups and their impact on global politics. By understanding the dynamics of military factions, readers can gain a better insight into predicting the success or failure of coups.
