Tiivistelmä: | This article examines paradigm values and their outcomes for th evolution and progress in politics and society studies of Africa. Analysis and concrete questions concentrate on paradigm structures and their values. The values are important from the point of view of how their explanations interpret Africa and encourage understanding for its development problems. Arguments that Africa is a unique field in political studies are due to their vagaries. The main aim has been to examine the changes and shift that have taken place in the paradigm values during the period: late 1950s and early 1990s. |
