African systems enabling Authoritarian Regimes: The case of the Democratic Republic of Congo

Bachelor thesis | International Studies (BA)
When thinking of African dictators who will be remembered as terrible tyrants and authoritarian leaders, Mobutu Sese Seko and Joseph Kabila, both former presidents of the Democratic Republic of Congo, are just two that immediately spring to mind. Despite the worldwide condemnation, African authoritarian regimes have persisted, such that it seems as if the majority of Africa lacks global freedom. These regimes' capacity to rule for so many decades raises the question: how do African systems contribute to the stability and longevity of African authoritarian regimes?
