Draft following the ongoing RfC at Talk:List of coups and coup attempts § RFC: How should we deal with alleged coups and alleged coup attempts?.
Verbatim quote section
For this current article draft, this section is almost entirely quoted verbatim from the CDP Dataset Codebook:[1]
The Coup D’état Project (CDP) identifies coups, attempted coups, and coup plots/conspiracies in 136 countries (1945-2019). The data identifies the type of actor who initiated the coup (i.e. military, palace, rebel, etc.) as well as the fate of the deposed executive (killed, injured, exiled, etc.).
The CDP defines coups d'état as organized efforts to effect sudden and irregular (e.g., illegal or extra-legal) removal of the incumbent executive authority of a national government, or to displace the authority of the highest levels of one or more branches of government.
In order to satisfy this definition, the following criteria must be met:
- Initiating actor(s)
- Incumbent threat
- A threat to leader's hold on power
- Irregular means
- Organized effort
Coup typology
- Outcomes
- Coup Conspiracies - A coup plot discovered and disrupted in the planning stages.
- Attempted Coups - An initiated coup plot that fails to achieve the effective removal or displacement of the targeted incumbent actor, or fails to end their ability to direct national governance.
- Realized Coup - A coup that achieves the effective removal or displacement of the targeted incumbent actor, or ends their ability to direct national governance. The plotters need not accomplish the effective takeover of the state apparatus.
- Actors (not mutually exclusive)
- Military Coup: Coups initiated by military actors who are not a formal part of the governing apparatus (i.e., a military junta). This category does not include security forces, police, or retired/former officers.
- Dissident Coup: Coups initiated by a small group of discontents to include ex-military leaders, religious leaders, former government leaders, members of a legislature/parliament, and civilians. This category does not include security forces or police as they are organized arms of the government.
- Rebel Coup: Coups initiated by organized, militarized groups that have broken with the existing government and are actively contesting government forces.
- Palace Coup: Coups initiated by members of a faction within the existing government (i.e., ministers, cabinet members, or other high-ranking people in the executive branch). This does not include members of the legislature/parliament. This category can include military personnel if they are members of a ruling military junta.
- Foreign-backed Coup: Coups with a foreign power as the force behind the event. In many instances the foreign power works in collaboration with a set of domestic actors to remove the incumbent leader and install a government more sympathetic to its interests.
- Auto Coups: Coups where the existing chief executive takes extreme measures to eliminate, or render powerless, other components of the government (legislature, judiciary, etc.). It also includes situations where the chief executive simply assumes extraordinary powers in an illegal or extra-legal manner (i.e., goes beyond extraordinary measures included in the country’s constitution, such as declaring a state of emergency).
- Forced Resignations: A soft coup where there is no formal deposing of the chief executive. Instead, the chief executive resigns from his or her position under the imminent threat of illegal or extra-legal removal. If the threat of removal is through legal means spelled out in the constitution, it is not a forced resignation (i.e., President Nixon’s resignation in 1974).
- Popular Revolt: An irregular regime change driven by widespread popular dissatisfaction expressed through large-scale civil unrest. An event falls into this category if a large-scale popular rebellion overthrows existing leader, forces their resignations, or elites use irregular means to force leadership changes in order to conciliate the populace. It is not a popular revolt if elites overthrow incumbents they consider "soft" on dissent in order to facilitate a crackdown.
- Counter Coup: A coup where the newly installed, post-coup leadership is removed by members of the prior regime within one month of the preceding, realized coup.
- Other: A residual case where the initiators do not fit the above categories (military, rebel, dissident, etc.) or the actors in a coup are not identified.
