- W2486403602 abstract "The Togolese closely watched liberalization and the National Conference in Benin, as did Africans across the continent. The peaceful fall of President Mathieu Kerekou appeared to show that dictators could be removed by civilians, and many prodemocracy activists were eager to convene their own National Conferences and make their own transitions. Part of the lure of the National Conference was its apparent simplicity: call together groups united by their disgust of the current regime, and vote the current leaders out of power. Of course, as the close examination of Benin in the previous chapter demonstrates, the situation was not nearly so simple. Moreover, ruling regimes learned from Benin’s transition, and made concerted attempts not to fall into the same pitfalls that had undone Kerekou.1 President Gnassingbe Eyadema’s regime, challenged by opponents with considerable public support, was forced to make concessions to his opponents in the period leading up to the National Conference. Though Eyadema had more resources with which to resist, including the seemingly unconditional support of the armed forces, the opposition did manage to take advantage of a critical juncture in the country’s political development to bring about some significant changes. The institutions, strategies, and agendas therefore developed along different lines in the two countries, but the foundations laid in the transition period still shape post-transition politics in Togo, albeit on a different trajectory than Benin." @default.
