The Political Kingdom in Uganda

SYNOPSIS

It is rare for a scholar to revisit the scene of earlier research with a view to evaluating how that research has stood up over time. Here David E Apter does that and more. In a lengthy new introductory chapter to this classic study of bureaucratic nationalism, he reviews the efficacy of the concepts in his original study of Uganda of almost a century ago, including some, such as consociationalism', which have entered into the mainstream of comparative politics.

FROM THE CRITICS

Booknews

Apter (comparative political and social development, Yale U.) recently revisited Uganda and updates his views in a lengthy new introduction to his study of bureaucratic nationalism published by Princeton University Press in 1961. He reviews the efficacy of the concepts he used including consociationalism, which has entered mainstream comparative politics, and assesses the role of case studies in developing theory. Paper edition (unseen), $27.50. Distributed in the US by ISBS. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
