Browned dust jacket. Ethiopia is the only African country whose government is directly derived from an indigenous pre-colonial political system ; other African states have political organisations largely evolved from Western models usually by the independence constitutions given to them as former colonies, or other forms of government which have succeeded them. This uniqueness gives a particular interest to the Ethiopian form of government, which this book, the result of five years' study, examines in detail. Dame Margery Perham writes in her Foreword to this work: 'Dr, Clapham has penetrated a long way into the secrets of the Emperor's authority, his methods of dealing with the complex circles, old and new, whích surround the throne ; the subtle web of medieval and modern forms of influence and control, and the degree to which these are being relaxed, Here is a fascinating analysis of the ways in which a great ruler, with an immense historical inheritance, has tried, with much success, to bring his state and people into active relationship with the modern world, All those interested not only in Ethiopia but also in the new Africa in which the Emperor plays such a vigorous part, should read this book.'.
