This study brings Africa into the mainstream of studies of state-formation in agrarian societies. Territorial integration is the challenge: institutional linkages and political deals that bind center and periphery are the solutions. In African countries, as in territorially diverse states around the world, rulers at the center are forced to bargain with regional elites to establish stable mechanisms of rule and taxation. Variation in regional forms of social organization make for differences in the interests and political strength of regional leaders who seek to maintain or enhance their power vis-à-vis their followers and subjects, and also vis-à-vis the center. The uneven political topography of the regions ultimately produces unevenness in the patterns and depth of center-region linkage. Six sub-regions of three West African countries - Senegal, Cote d'Ivoire, and Ghana - are the backbone of the study.

分析有些静态,结论部分提出了一个超出原有决策组合的新论证,算是填掉了一些漏洞。

评分对经验材料不熟悉就难以评价了,主要看理论意识和方法技巧。历史制度主义的弱点找得有些勉强,阶级关系的处理也较温吞水,所谓将统治者—被统治者转化为中心—边缘的问题意识,似乎特别适用于非洲语境:敏感意识到地理地形、热带地区农业模式和社会结构限制统治者偏好和博弈情景,是目前所读比较政治中非洲方面研究的共通点,大概地理地形对农业与人口分布的限制实在太显著且未有内生技术/工业革命突破,必定是很重要的自变量。数据齐全,大题目分解成小问题逐个解决的步骤也颇扎实,一看作者是MIT博士毕业,倒也正常。
评分subnational variation; state-society relations. social hierarchy, economic dependency, spatial and processual dimensions, 2*2.
