ABSTRACT
This chapter discusses the items are specific policies adopted by governments with regard to the political system itself, and to other subsystems of society. The prevailing scholarly attitude toward the prospects for political development or politically induced economic, stratification, or cultural development in Africa has recently been described as "qualified pessimism." Given the greater degree of inequality in Zambia, President Kenneth Kaunda has wisely postponed stratification changes among Africans until after considerable political change, cultural integration, and economic nationalization have taken place. Setting the maximum pace of change and establishing a climate of change expectation may represent important contributions of sequential ordering and timing to the development of African societies. A complete control and facilitation analysis of the effects of sequential ordering and timing on utility calculations, the pace of change and the climate of change expectation, perceived incompatibility, and reinterpretation must examine effects for various categories of actors.
