ABSTRACT
R.H.Jackson and C.G.Rosberg, Personal Rule in Black Africa (University of California Press, 1982) provides an interesting though uenven discussion of political leadership. Several useful though now dated studies of bureaucracy appear in J.Lapalombara, Bureaucracy and Political Development (Princeton University Press, 1963), and of parties in J.Lapalombara and M.Weiner, Political Parties and Political Development (Princeton University Press, 1966). Three books concerned, with the relationship between government and the ‘ordinary’ population are: J.M.Nelson, Access to Power: Politics and the Urban Poor in Developing Nations (Princeton University Press, 1979); N. Kasfir, The Shrinking Political Arena (University of California Press, 1976); and H.R.Tinker, Ballot Box and Bayonet: People and Government in Emergent Asian Countries (Oxford University Press, 1964).
