Why are some African countries succeeding in their democratic transitions while others are failing?

Dramane Coulibaly et al.

Summary: In African countries, the impact of the emigrant population on democracy levels depends on the duration of their stay in host countries. A larger emigrant population facilitates the development of an independent civil society, thus promoting democratization. Conversely, a small emigrant population allows incumbents to retain power and reduces the likelihood of institutional changes.
