商品簡介
Ray (political science, U. of Calgary, Canada) and Reddy (governance, U. of Durban- Westville, South Africa) present 11 contributions that, collectively advocate for strengthening and integrating African states' relationship with "traditional authority" in the form of the pre-colonial political elites. The result of a campaign by the International Association of Schools and Institutes of Administration, the papers offer a picture of "traditional political values," examine the levels of support the old elites currently enjoy, discuss the roots of power, and discuss the impact of "traditional leadership" on democratization.
