L'évocation de l'armée en Afrique en général et noire en particulier rime, dans la conscience collective, avec coups d'Etat, mutineries, rebellions, violences. Et pourtant, des particularités sont à tirer notamment en ce qui concerne la stabilité des Etats et l'ascension à la magistrature suprême. C'est ainsi qu'en Afrique francophone, le Cameroun et le Sénégal sont à citer car, restés depuis leur « indépendance » à l'abri de prise de pouvoir par la force des armes. Et, ce, malgré des situations sociopolitiques et économiques assez similaires aux autres pays. Pour le Cameroun, au-delà d'une certaine intériorisation du sens professionnel (soumission du militaire au politique), nous pensons que la régularité de l'armée tient du fait qu'elle s'est fondue dans un système néopatrimonial au point de devenir, elle-même, une institution néopatrimonialisée. Mais, bien que défendant des intérêts partisans (du « Prince », de la classe dirigeante et les siens), cette armée se révèle aussi un symbole du processus de rationalisation et de démocratisation de l'Etat (principes bureaucratiques, maintien de l'ordre et de la paix, brassage socioculturel…). Se pose alors la question de savoir qui du système ou du symbole détermine la posture du corps militaire camerounais ? En clair, l'armée camerounaise est-elle loyale parce que néopatrimonialisée ou bien l'ancrage néopatrimoniale s'appuie-t-elle sur cette loyauté ? / It is a common perception that the army in Africa and more particularly in black Africa, is associated with putsch, riots, rebellions and violence. Yet, specificities can be pointed out, especially in the two following points: political stability and promotion to the highest office. In that way, in francophone africa, Cameroon and Senegal since their independence, have managed to preserve themselves from any violent upheaval. In Cameroon, beyond a certain internization of the rofessional sense ( army submitted to political power), we can state that the political stability is due to the fact that it has blended into a neo-patrimonial system up to the point of becoming itself a neo-patrimonialised institution. Nonetheless, in spite of defending partisan interests (the "Prince", the ruling class and his family) the army turns out to be a symbol of the process of rationalization and democratization of the state (bureaucratic principles, law enforcement, peacekeeping, socio-cultural mixing etc.). The question is now to figure out if the position of the cameroonian army is determined either by the symbol or by the system. In other words, is the Cameroonian army loyal because of its being neo-patrimonialised or because the neo-patrimonial system relies on such loyalty?

A thesis presented on the political history of Fiji from cession to Britain in 1874 compares and analyses the country’s four political coups. A military coup occurred in 1987 by Lt. Col Sitiveni Rabuka. Six months later he staged a self-coup. In 2000 George Speight staged an armed civilian coup or putsch, and in 2006 Commodore Frank Bainimarama, head of Fiji’s military forces, overthrew the government of Laisenia Qarase. This paper is an internal comparison of the four coups of which the aim is to examine why coups occur in Fiji. The conclusion is that the level of influence of the country’s traditional paramount chiefs is a strong causal factor in events leading to the political overthrows. Issues such as ethnicity, constitutionalism, democracy, traditionalism, and modernity make the study of the Fiji coups complex. All of the major actors involved have been present or have been somehow linked to each coup. Questions of leadership arise as do issues regarding pluralism and multiculturalism. These issues are discussed in this paper. The end result is that if the question of traditional leadership is not addressed within a democratic framework then Fiji will continue to have coups.
