Counter-Terrorism Strategies and Military Governance: Insights from Burkina Faso’s Leadership Transition

This study examines the discursive constructions surrounding counter-terrorism strategies and military governance during Burkina Faso's leadership transition. Drawing on official documents, media narratives, and scholarly sources, the research analyzes how language, symbolism, and storytelling shape perceptions of security, legitimacy, and state identity (Bourdieu, 1991; Foucault, 2007). Through thematic and discursive analysis, the study uncovers underlying ideological frameworks and power dynamics that influence policy formulation and regional security discourse (Buzan & Hansen, 2009; Campbell, 1998).
