Abstract:
Trapped in the sedimentation of the authoritarian order to be demolished, the institutional stakes of the transition, under the vortex of the logic of the zero-sum political game of the antagonistic actors, offered the founding president, Marshal Mobutu, political resources to survive his leadership in crisis. His strategies for political survival have had as their sites the rush moments of institutional overhaul arrangements in failed attempts to implement a transitional regime between his camp and that or those of his political opponents.
