Zusammenfassung

Aktuelle Analysen der Transformation politischer Ordnung wenden sich – zu Lasten dezentralisierter Formen – bevorzugt staatlichen Machtgebilden zu. Sie untersuchen verschiedene und allgemeingültige Formen des fundamentalen Wandels von politischen Regimes und Ordnungen (vgl. Huntington 1992, Merkel 1999). Hierbei geraten nationale Besonderheiten in den Hintergrund. Zu diesen zählen u. a. Arten von dezentralisierten Formen, wie akephale/segmentäre Gesellschaften, die eine Rolle bei der Stabilität des Staates bzw. der Transformation politischer Ordnung spielen können.

In der Literatur wird üblicherweise Igbo „Ibo“ geschrieben. Der Ursprung dieses Fehlers war die Schwierigkeit der Europäer, besonders der Engländer, die Buchstabenkombination „gb“ auszusprechen. Sie sprechen den Namen „Ibo“ aus und schreiben ihn dementsprechend. Segmentäre Gesellschaften werden im Deutschen auch akephale Gesellschaften genannt. Beide Begriffe werden im vorliegenden Text gleichbedeutend verwendet.
