A Decade of Burkina Faso traces the countryâs political, economic, and social changes from 2015 to 2024 through contemporaneous annual analyses. Moving beyond narratives of democratic failure or state collapse, it advances a framework of âmanaged insecurityâ to explain how insurgency reshaped governance and everyday life. Combining empirical detail with conceptual insight, the volume shows how political order evolved under sustained violence across institutions, territory, and society.
