摘要：

The main objective of this paper is to test the influence of Africa's founding fathers and the impact of British colonial legacy on the political stability of Africa. We relied on a sample of 50 African countries and employed cross-sectional research designs, which covered two separate periods (1960-1989 and 1990-2018). Using logistic regression and OLS estimators and controlling for French colonial legacy, economic development, regime type, ethnic heterogeneity, and ethnic polarization, we found that the founding fathers were conducive to Africa's political stability between 1960 and 2018. We also found that British colonial legacy had some impact on former British colonies' stability between 1960 and 2018. In addition, GDP per capita had a significant impact on Africa's political stability over the two periods.
