Abstract

This study, which has as its problematic the analysis of the dynamic developments of citizenship rights on the African continent, from the fall of authoritarian state institutions to the context of democratic openings, aims to show the limitations that exist within the scope of the reconfiguration and applicability of citizenship rights in contemporary Africa due to the adoption of ambiguous political models that are simultaneously hegemonic and democratic. This study is a qualitative, theoretical approach, developed through exploratory bibliographic research. The results indicate that the democracy achieved in Africa reveals a democratic and an authoritarian nature, as a result of the presence of non-democratic elements that have accompanied the different political systems tested on the continent, in which the degree of applicability of rights of Citizenship depends on the ruling elite and the perceived level of threat to their maintenance in power. From these results, we conclude that, even so, in this context, it is relatively early to declare the failure or success of both democracy and citizenship rights.
