Abstract
In this and the next chapter we expand on the conditions of social order and disorder outlined in the preceding pages. In illustrating and amplifying these earlier remarks we will draw on various case studies of order, reform and revolution and relate them to our general model of social structure. We begin with an analysis of relatively undifferentiated and egalitarian societies and later examine more differentiated and inegalitarian systems.

Notes
The segmentary state is intermediate between the classical segmentary lineage society and the fully centralised unitary state; its range is considerable — from the Shilluk to feudal and imperial systems. See A. W. Southall, ‘Alur Society’ (Cambridge, 1956) pp. 243–63 and passim.
