The paper deals with the contemporary systems of government in two Sub‑Saharan African states which belonged to the French colonial empire – Senegal and Ivory Coast. The Senegalese constitution of 2001 contains regulations based on the semi‑presidential model, whereas the Ivorian basic law of 2000 – on the presidential one (although it was not adopted in a pure form). Special attention is devoted to the similarities and differences between the two systems, taking into consideration their constitutional structure (e.g. powers of the head of state, political responsibility of ministers and other aspects of relations within the executive branch, as well as between the latter and the legislative one). It is also pointed out that since the two countries gained their independence in 1960 Senegal and Ivory Coast have had quite different political experiences, which have exerted a visible influence on the functioning of their systems of government in practice. One of the key factors that deserve to be taken into account is the ability to produce democratic alternation of power between presidential candidates and political parties taking part in the electoral process.

the purpose of the article is to characterize the Ivorian nationalism. In the introduction the mechanisms of the creation of the African nation in the postcolonial era and the European perception of this process are shown. Next, the birth of nationalist ideology in Ivory Coast and the role of the “father of the nation” – Félix Houphouët-Boigny – are characterized. Then, the article focuses on the meaning of the national goods among which cocoa should be recognized. Mismanagement on the cocoa economy was one of the most significant reasons of redefining the national identity (Ivoirity), the outbreak of the civil war and the decaying of the state. Finally, the essay presents the attempts of implementation of the transitional justice and ongoing national reconciliation in Ivory Coast.
