Abstract:
The study is about the impact of international interferences with governance in Chad (20052023).
It analyzes how international interferences have influenced governance in Chad, focusing on the
role of external factors in shaping political stability and governance dynamics. The research
assesses the involvement of neighboring countries, regional organizations, and global powers,
examining the effects on Chad‟s governance structures, institutions, rule of law, transparency,
and political stability.
Chad‟s governance has been profoundly influenced by external actors, including Sudan, Libya,
and the Central African Republic, which contribute to regional challenges like refugee crises and
cross-border conflicts. Regional organizations such as the African Union (AU) and the Economic
Community of Central African States (ECCAS), along with global powers like France, the
United States, and China, play significant roles through conflict mediation, economic
investments, military support, and development aid, creating a complex political and economic
environment.
The study finds that international interference has significantly shaped Chad‟s governance
institutions, improving capacity but also introducing dependencies and misalignments with local
needs. This undermines sovereignty and complicates governance, particularly in areas like rule
of law and transparency. Political stability in Chad is also heavily influenced by external
support. While backing from France and the U.S. has aided regime continuity, such as in the rise
of Mahamat Déby, it has also heightened internal divisions and increased the risk of coups and
unrest. M Finally, the research highlights that foreign aid and conditional reforms, particularly
from the IMF and World Bank, often lead to internal tensions, complicating governance
improvements despite intentions to bolster stability
