Crisis, violence and political succession in Africa
This article examines African leadership succession and the effect of crises on the orderliness of succession. The data set consists of 102 successions from 1963-1988, using the African Contemporary Record as our major source. We divide 102 successions into those which are 'regulated,' or rule-directed, and those which are not. We find that about a third of all successions were regulated, and that the presence of a political crisis is the critica…
The Development of Civil Society in a Democratic State
Citizen influence on the modern democratic state most often occurs through social organizations demanding government responsiveness to member concerns. These organizations and their interaction with government constitute the core of modern civil society. The presence of organized groups does not in itself mean that a civil society exists. Such groups may engage in other activities such as producing collective goods for their members or controllin…

Botswana

Bureaucratic Domination of Hunter-Gatherer Societies
Social science analysis of hunter-gatherer societies has highlighted their economic and cultural subordination to neighbouring peoples. This article shows that, at least in the case of the San in Botswana, state bureaucratic domination is becoming the determining factor in social change. The authors provide evidence of bureaucratic domination with respect to settlement of the San, the establishment of headmanship, extension of social services and…

Monitoring the Development of Democracy
During the last four decades, few attempts to establish democracy have succeeded. Many new states in the 1950s and 1960s adopted democratic structures as they decolonised but soon shifted to civilian or military dictatorships. As the decade of the 1990s begins, there is a world-wide demand for democracy because of the poor record of all forms of authoritarian régimes

Some Reflections On School Financial Referenda
HE PRECEDING paper, . . A Critique of Cataldo and Holm, attempts to make a number of criticisms of our article on school financial elections (1983). While most of the points focus on issues of research design, our critic also attempts to promote social choice theory as the most fruitful approach to the study of school financial referenda. Before commenting on this alternative formulation, we will respond to the main technical issues our critic ra…
Some Reflections on School Financial Referenda
Coping with Drought in Botswana
Since African states began to obtain their political independence almost three decades ago, drought has exacerbated critical problems of social equality. In domestic politics, élites have used their control over food aid to enhance their power vis-à-vis those suffering from declines in agricultural production. Two scholars recently concluded that 'food-relief programmes...have helped to widen the gap between rich and poor in virtually every count…

Liberal Democracy and Rural Development in Botswana
Students of government quite often argue that citizen participation leads to a more equal sharing of economic resources in society. Most empirical support for this proposition comes from analyses of western European societies.' In the third world literature, scholars advance this thesis mostly with regard to a village or community context. They assert that participation in key decisions of social change is a critical if not sufficient condition f…

Ideological Identification and the American Voter
This article explores the utility of respondent self-evaluation of ideological position on a liberal-conservative scale as a predictor of vote relative to two other types of predictors: party identification and issue positions. The general conclusion is that ideological self-evaluation identifies an effect that is independent of the other two predictors in the electorate as a whole but that the extent of this effect can vary substantially, depend…
