This study examines two popular cultural explanations for such developmental problems, and finds them both wanting. Men-doza's experience suggests the need to adjust development programs to local cultural exigencies, rather than the reverse, as most analysts have argued. A four-part sequence to this effect is presented.

A potential alliance of military and bureaucratic élites in guiding the political destiny of much of Africa must now be viewed as probable.
