Abstract:This essay attempts to outline, and partially to expound, a conceptual framework for studying political change during the colonial and post-colonial periods. It starts with a discussion of terns and concepts used by Professor David Easton (David Easton, 'The Perception of Authority and Political Change', in Carl J. Friedrich (ed.), Authority-Nomos I (Cambridge, Mass., 1957), p. 171). Then follow paragraphs entitled: 'Modernisation' as an Analytical Concept, The State and Modernisation; The Masses, the Elite, and Post-colonial Politics. Reference notes.
