Abstract

After thirty years of democratic practices, Mali currently finds itself at a crossroads after having been the victim of three coups d'état. So, to analyze this thorny issue, we start from the observation that either the Malian democracy so praised by the world was chronically suffering from a malaise, or that the imported and imposed democratic model in Mali was not in line with its cultural values. This article attempts to address these various concerns through a critical and contextual approach.

Keywords: democracy, culture, politics, governance.
