And Gender

This work is touted as the only book-length examination of the sociological model of vote choice in American politics since David Knoke's The Social Bases of Political Parties (1976), and it is, indeed, a well-researched examination of the role that race, class, religion, and gender play in our under- standing of voter alignments in the United States. At the same time, I have concerns about some of the methodological decisions made by the authors and the effect of these choices on their conclusions.

In this paper the processes of integration and disintegration within the Nigerian Federation up to the secession of Biafra are analysed. The ‘modern’ and the ‘traditional’ political systems and sub-systems are identified and the cultural setting is outlined. The focus is concentrated on the distribution of the enforcement powers, the utilitarian powers and the identive powers between the centres of the federal system and the regional sub-systems, as manifested by subsequent constitutions and by the social bases of the political parties. In such a context the integrative and disintegrative effects of the political parties at the cultural, the federal and the regional levels are discussed. The major political crises of the early 1960s are outlined as are the developments after the military coup d'etats of 1966 leading to the secession. On this basis some preconditions for a successful secession are suggested, and the extent to which these were fulfilled or not in the case under consideration is discussed.
