The constant drumbeat of headlines about Darfur, Zimbabwe, Sudan,
Somalia, as well as the other states in Africa that are beleaguered
by political instability have made the 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 the internal variations of
society evident in the Nigerian state to explain why the country
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 the
evolution in the Nigerian political system and the 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 the
question of state building in Africa is still unresolved, this
timely book is a major contribution to the literature on transition
processes in African politics and is particularly relevant to
scholars and policy makers wanting to grapple with the issues
associated with Africa's political disorder and the other social
problems it spawns.
