The selections included here come from a wide range of Western and non-Western sources and together represent core knowledge in the field of African politics. Topic areas covered are methods for appraising the modern African state, approaches to understanding African states and their politics, dimensionsof regional conflict, conflict between traditional and modern values, the politics of new social forces, and the meaning of contemporary trends.
