“…Academia Letters, Article 5200. https://doi.org/10.20935/AL5200 4 From Chirac [during the last three years of his first term, including his second term], Sarkozy, Hollande to Macron, the said policy never ceases to be seen in progressive decline and on its way to its probable end of history (Badie & Vidal, 2021;Mbembe, 2021). Passing: Firstly, from prescriptive coercion to "Peacekeeper" and reserves: from the policy of homework, and various interferences and open-air sanctions to the various "peacekeeping" operations on the continent, to name a few: Barkhane [2014-] in the Sahel : Mali, Chad, Niger, Mauritania and Burkina Faso; Sangaris [2013][2014][2015][2016] [February 1986-July 2014 in Chad (Erforth, 2020;Badie & Vidal, 2021;Mbembe, 2021;Traoré, 2019;Poulton & Tonegutti, 2021).…”

France's traditional policy in Africa, born after the independence of cataclysms, does not know how to make exception to the fundamental notion of the life cycle. It was born, grew up, and continues to age as it heads towards its probable end of cycleend of its historyas a result of its gradual and continuous decline. This paper therefore briefly outlines the gradual decline of France's traditional policy in Africa from the 1990s to this new era of globalization. The years of the Cold War between the United States and the USSR are well seen as those of the birth, growth and golden age of the said policy. Rather, the post-Cold War years between the US and the USSR are seen more as the years of its awakening, decline and probable end of history. From the years of its birththe era of facade independenceto this new era of

“…The Central African Republic and Mali serve well as specific cases of concrete illustrations following the negative impacts and fiascoes of Barkhane [2014-] in the Sahel, Sangaris [2013][2014][2015][2016] in Central Africa Republic, Harmattan [March 2011] in Libya (Erforth, 2020;Badie & Vidal, 2021;Mbembe, 2021). As we can see in this twenty-first century how the policies of China and Russia are constantly gaining ground in these countries to the detriment of this so-called traditional policy of France in Africa (COFACE, 2018;IFF, 2020;Paczyńska, 2020).…”

Explaining the Gradual Decline and Probable End of History of France's Traditional Policy in Africa in this New Era of Globalization

This paper proposes to briefly explain why the gradual decline and probable end of history of France's traditional policy in Africa in this new era of globalization. The gradual decline of France's traditional policy in Africa is simply understood as the progressive decadence, in the path towards the end of history of France's evolving neo-colonial policy-of metamorphic French neo-colonialism, on the African continent and in its sub-Saharan bosom in particular, passing from libertinage and coercive prescriber gendarme to "peacekeeper" and reserves; from collusion to the pronounced appearance of arm-wrestling and criticism; from tacit legitimacy to pronounced fed up; switches to the progressive breakdown of privileges, monopolies and abusive dominations; and from the open sky to hypocrisy, taboo and sacrilege. By using Central African Republic and Mali as specific cases of concrete illustrations, the results that emerge from this paper show that the rise of soft engagement and the decline of hard engagement, the pronounced exposure of win-lose results of the said policy, the rise of new anti-neocolonial public opinion and the retreat of French power on the African continent and in its sub-Saharan bosom in particular are the main root causes of the gradual decline of France's traditional policy in Africa and towards its probable end of history in this new era of globalization. To conclude, this paper has noted the need for further in-depth studies in the sense of identifying and seeing the results and implications of the decline of the said policy
