Abstract
This short study has treated political development for the most part as consisting in the growth of central governmental power, the creation of national unity and the growth of political participation. Change in these directions has been seen to be closely linked to (i) economic and social development, (ii) the legacy of the political tradition, and (iii) the balance of contemporary political forces.
