Selvkup

Selvkup er en form for statskup, hvor en nations leder, der er kommet til magten på lovlig vis, forsøger at holde sig ved magten med ulovlige midler. Lederen kan opløse eller gøre det nationale parlament magtesløst og ulovligt tiltage sig ekstraordinære beføjelser, som ikke gives under normale omstændigheder. Andre tiltag kan være at annullere landets forfatning, suspendere domstole og at lade regeringschefen få diktatoriske beføjelser.^[1]^[2]

Mellem 1946 og 2022 fandt der anslået 148 selvkupforsøg sted, 110 i autokratier og 38 i demokratier.^[3]
