Abstract:The difficulties inherent in any political analysis are compounded in the cases of the third world nations by the complexity of their socio-cultural makeup. Western political scientists are often ill-equipped to deal with a fundamental fact of the third world politics - cultural pluralism. The author explores patterns of conflict and integration in a variety of culturally plural societies, and he offers a number of theoretical postulates concerning the nature of such conflict and integration. His approach to the problem is comprehensive both in its scope and in its theoretical aspirations. He applicates his inductively derived general propositions to a number of sattings: Zaïre, Nigeria, India, Uganda, Tanzania, Indonesia, the Philipins, the Arab world and Latin America.
