Description
This comprehensive introduction to tropical African politics, originally published in 1984, remains essential reading for students, businessmen, government officials and economic advisers seeking to understand the region's political landscape. The book situates contemporary African politics within its historical context, examining both pre-colonial and colonial legacies to explain how these forces shape modern political choices. Rather than presenting politics as entirely determined by historical forces, the author demonstrates how African politicians navigate constraints imposed by geography, historical inheritance and global economic pressures whilst retaining meaningful agency in their decision-making. Organised thematically, the work provides both a broad overview of shared political patterns across tropical Africa and detailed analysis of specific national contexts, making it suitable for those studying development economics, international relations or African history.

Key Features

Routledge Library Editions reprint brings this 1984 foundational text back into print for contemporary study of African politics.

Thematic organisation allows readers to explore shared political patterns across tropical African nations rather than country-by-country analysis.

Historical approach integrates pre-colonial and colonial heritage to explain constraints on modern African political decision-making.

Comprehensive coverage addresses the interplay between geography, history and global economics in shaping tropical African politics.

Suitable reference for students, policymakers and development advisers analysing African economic policy and political institutions.
