The French-African relations have always been considered a special and yet genuine case of international relations due to their history, intensity and particular way of cooperation even after decolonization. This is why this subject remains of keen interest for the scholars in the International Relations Theories. In this context, the article aims to apply the framework of IR theory on Françafrique relations so as to identify the fundaments as well as the functioning system of this unique form of cooperation. Having as a starting point the conceptualization of the notions that are going to be dealt with in the article, the paper will then look upon defining the main premises of regime theory and their relevance in the study of French-Ivorian relations. Thus, the main purpose of the paper is that of bringing new theoretical perspectives and insights derived from IR Theory’s lens to the African studies.

Keywords: Françafrique, Regime Theory, French-African relations, International Relations theory
