Urban nationalism: A case-study of imperial administration, urban public policy and political development in British Trinidad
In the course of modern European imperialism, urban areas occupied significant places in the life of colonial societies-as hosts for alien ideas, institutions and technologies, but also as their disseminators to outlying populations. Communication and transportation networks in those societies radiated from urban nodes or central places to the hinterlands, accompanied by the artifacts of modern ‘culture’ and the mechanisms of political control.

Role Theory,” Political Science, and African Studies
Numerous studies of role, employing diverse methodologies in a wide range of social contexts, have accumulated in the social sciences over many decades. The concept of role retains considerable appeal for some who still pursue the goal of a unified theory of behavior for the social sciences, and for many others who discern in the role perspective a major source of concepts and insights on which they may draw eclectically for all manner of social …

Political Traditionalism in Nigeria: A Case-Study of Secret Societies and Dance Groups in Local Government
Opening ParagraphThe notion that rural political life is essentially traditional tribal in Africa and therefore scarcely relevant to modern decision-making at higher echelons of government has had a commanding influence in African studies. Associated with this viewpoint has been a tacit division of labour in the social sciences which emphasizes the pre-eminence of anthropology in the tribal domain and the pre-occupation of political science with …

Methodological Considerations in the Study of African Political and Administrative Behavior: The Case of Role Conflict Analysis
scientists of all persuasions--institutionalists, behavioralists , and so forth--have tended to ignore or treat lightly various methodological problems confronting the social sciences in general and their own discipline in particular. It is appropriate here to distinguish between methodology and preocedure. Methodology refers to the philosophy of science, to problems associated with the logic of systematic social inquiry; among the problems which…

Political Science Priorities in Local African Research
A survey of the political science literature on Subsaharan Africa' leaves one with these major impressions. First, the literature has proliferated at an unprecedented rate in this decade and scholars already confront an awesome bibliography. Secondly, notwithstanding an impressive rate of output, the literature reflects a persistent imbalance. Political scientists have tended to devote their attention to the macropolitical, including topics mainl…

British Rule and Indigenous Organization in Nigeria: A Case-Study in Normative-Institutional Change
The article examines administrative policy in Idoma (Northern Nigeria) as a response to two dilemmas confronting the colonial power: (1) how to reconcile a persistent, even if varyingly intense, commitment to indirect rule with a desire for institutional change; (2) how to reconcile a synthesis of the two with the longrange objective of normative change, including ‘progress’ and ‘administrative efficiency’. While normative change remained a long-…
