Die gegenwärtige Übergangsphase von einer Militär- zu einer demokratisch gewählten Zivilregierung im Jahr 1993 ist der zweite derartige Versuch in der Post-Kolonialzeit Nigerias. Beschrieben werden Planung und Phasen dieses Übergangs, der Versuch einer politischen Erziehung der Bevölkerung und insbesondere auch des Militärs, Einfluß und Rolle der Sicherheitsorgane in diesem Prozeß und die sukzessive eingeführten demokratischen Grundlagen und Mechanismen bis zur im Januar 1993 vorgesehenen Vereidigung des neuen Präsidenten und dem dann endgültigen Disengagement des Militärs.

Existing scholarship shows that a history of military rule increases the risk of democratic breakdown. However, scholars overlook the fact that military rule takes two distinct forms: collegial and personalist military rule. I argue that the two types of military rule provide different structural settings for post-authoritarian contexts. Collegial military rule hands over more cohesive and hierarchical militaries to their subsequent democracies than personalist military rule. These militaries remain organized, politicized, and powerful in emerging democracies, which increases the risk of military intervention and coups. I hypothesize that collegial military rule poses a greater threat to the survival of the ensuing democracies than personalist military rule. Empirical analysis reveals that democracies after collegial military rule are more likely to collapse than other democracies, including those emerging from personalist military rule. This shows that the previous finding on the detrimental effect of military rule is largely driven by collegial military rule.
