ABSTRACT
This conclusion presents some closing thoughts on the concepts covered in the preceding chapters of this book. The book argues that revolutionary regime change will occur in Zimbabwe-Rhodesia, and utilizes various propositions in combination with data on Zimbabwean and Rhodesian political values, norms, and role behavior to support this prediction. It asserts that the complexity of the control and facilitation framework fosters more adequate explanation of various types of political change than that provided by alternative frameworks. The book demonstrates the complex balance of ferees involved in the process of successful revolutionary regime change in Ethiopia and Mozambique, focusing on collectivity mobilization, elite resistance, and functional dissynchronization. The book considers the need to overcome resistance from precolonial and religious values and norms. It delineates the variety of ways in which planning systems in African countries inhibit successful planning, and suggests a number of changes in these systems which would be likely to increase planning effectiveness.
