Guinea-Bissau: Can A Failed Military Coup Be Successful? – Analysis

by Paulo Gorjão and Pedro Seabra, "Guinea-Bissau: Can a Failed Military Coup be Successful?" (IPRIS Viewpoints, No. 95, May 2012).

However, the same cannot be said with complete certainty if we look at the consequences of the military coup from a substantive point of view.
