  • "The constant drumbeat of headlines about Darfur, Zimbabwe, Sudan, Somalia, and other states in Africa beleaguered by political instability have made causes of failed states and intra-state political conflicts a major issue, both academic and practical. Using Harry Eckstein and Ted R. Gurr's congruence-consonance theoretical framework of regime classification, E.C. Ejiogu examines internal variations of society evident in Nigerian state to explain why it experiences political conflict and instability. The first time this theoretical framework has been applied to an African country, E.C. Ejiogu offers a balanced and interdisciplinary analysis of evolution in Nigerian political system and role played by evolved social traits in society. Exploring themes such as colonial rule and legacies, economic development, political authority and religion, Ejiogu insists that it is critical to examine Africa's diverse nationalities in terms of their geography, social, economic and authority patterns as critical elements that are disregarded in accounts of their political development. At a time when question of state building in Africa is still unresolved, this book is a major contribution to literature on transition processes in African politics and is relevant to scholars and policy makers wanting to grapple with issues associated with Africa's political disorder and other social problems it spawns--Publisher's description."
