 - Bloomington  Indiana University Press  1999 
 - xxi, 170 p. ; 23 cm. 
<br/><br/> Includes bibliographical references (p. 164-166) and index. 
<br/><br/> How do political systems in Africa work? Is the "real" business of politics taking place outside the scope of standard political analysis, in an "informal" or more personalised setting? How are the prospects for reform and renewal in African societies affected by the emerging elites? Is "modernisation" in Africa different? Are there within African countries social, political and cultural factors which aspire to the continuation of patrimony and conspire against economic development?
