“…Regional Powers, on the contrary, do not see the international arena as their main stage. They assume the role of local Great Powers in their regional neighborhood where they provide for order and stability (Buzan/Waever 2003;Nolte 2006Nolte , 2010Stewart-Ingersoll/ Frazier 2012). In comparison with Great Powers, the scope of interest and action of both powers is thus thematically or geographically restricted.…”

“…With regard to the role of hegemonic states I follow the argument by Coleman (2007) and Pedersen (2002) that hegemonic states might indeed prefer to use regional arrangements to pursue their foreign policy interests within their regions. Hegemony will be assessed by looking at the relative power dominance of states vis-à-vis other member states within the region and some acceptance of this hegemony by the regional environment (Buzan and Waever 2003;Stewart-Ingersoll and Frazier 2012). In the empirical analysis I will attempt to assess the vulnerability of African states toward regional leverage by looking first at the existence of regional organisations and their mandates, and then at the role of regional hegemons.…”

Differences in African regime dynamics are clustered in sub-regions and thus might not be driven entirely by domestic variables such as the coercive capacity of states or the cohesion of ruling parties. The main argument of the paper is that leverage by regional organisations and by regional hegemons as well as specific types of regional linkages matter for domestic political developments. There is huge variation in terms of the competencies of regional organisations to influence democratisation processes, a varying availability of hegemons to enforce regional democratic standards and varying degrees of leverage vis-à-vis member states, which partly explain the regional patterns of regime dynamics. In the African context regional linkage is important in explaining how leverage is used by regional organisations and hegemons.

“…Essas ameaças não seriam necessariamente militares, mas poderiam estar relacionadas a qualquer outra área (Buzan, Waever e Wilde 1998;Guzzini 2003). Buzan e Waever (2003) Esses complexos poderiam ter um ou mais polos (sendo eles Estados ou instituições), que poderiam ser potências regionais ou externas que pratiquem overlay ou não terem polos (Buzan e Waever 2003;Stewart-Ingersoll e Frazier 2012).…”
