This volume discusses the relationship between the Rockefeller Foundation, a private philanthropic organization in the USA, and 15 universities in 12 developing countries throughout a 20-year period. Split into four parts, it describes the formation of the Rockefeller Foundation Program and the dimensions to be examined. It then presents case studies, and looks at the process of institution building and the critical issues of university development in the Third World. Finally, it attempts to draw some conclusions about the process of university development from the specific Foundation experience.

Carl G. Rosberg

The essays in this book focus attention on the role of political groups in the new functioning and development of the new African societies and the political systems of which they are a part. The authors, all recognized authorities, have sought to identify and compare the manifestations of the general tendency among the new states of Tropical Africa toward the establishment and consolidation of one-party political systems, and to examine, in the light of this general trend, the different dimensions of the problem of integration. This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press's mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact. Drawing on a backlist dating to 1893, Voices Revived makes high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship accessible once again using print-on-demand technology. This title was originally published in 1964.
