CONCEPTS THE EXPLAIN THE OCCURRENCE AND REPETITION OF COUPS; AN OVERVIEW

Summary/Abstract: Coups d’etat are highly complicated processes with noticeable tendency to recurrence. The paper purpose is to verify „coup contagion” theory, „coup trap” theory and „coup cascade” theory in perspective of the author’s quantitative arrangements concerning the period 1946-2017. Moreover author takes an attempt to answer the question about real correlations of a coup d’etat appearance and it’s recurrence. As a result of the analysis it has been confirmed, that in specific historical circumstances and social and political conditions, coups may cause the „coup trap”, to become a source of „contagion” for regional neighborhood, and even global dimension. Worth of attention is also „cascade coup” phenomenon, where in short term – maximally 3 years between last events – occurs serial coups d’etat.
