Abstract :In the book Afrika’da Askeri Darbeler ve Dış Müdahale, Murat Yiğit, firstly, who deals with the concept of military coup, points out that the role of the outside world has an important impact on the realization of military coups and draws attention to the fact that coups are a phenomenon that is open to all kinds of interventions and influences from outside. In this respect, author, while dealing with the issue of turning military coups into a tool of foreign intervention, aims to answer both the factors and elements of foreign interventions based on military coups and the dimensions of foreign intervention required in the use of military coups as a tool of intervention by foreign actors in the international system and what are the basic indicators in the analysis of this intervention in the book. For this purpose, Yiğit aims to question the impact of external interventions on the occurrence of military coups and coup attempts in the historical context, particularly in West African countries. Also, author, examines the presence and influence of the United States and France as prominent actors in the military coups and coup attempts that have taken place in the region.
