Abstract:Political socialisation of African elites and objective problems of nation building determine the shape of the political culture of Africa. For an understanding of this there are three useful orientations: the 1st is towards the interplay between the instrumental cultures of industrialised countries and the new elites in Africa; the 2nd concerns the relation of the integrational and solidarity needs of emerging nations and the equally imperative pressure to resolve some of the more pressing welfare problems; the 3rd is towards an appreciation of the importance of power and the Rational coercive means of achieving the cohesion required by embryo national societies (Dahrendorf) Impressions about these matters are sketched in this paper: Functional inducement - Growth equals solidarity plus development - Coercion and politicisation - The civic culture. Notes, French summary p. 236-239.
