Abstract The modern age of statism at most divided polities into unitary or federal states. In doing so it obscured the three models of the origin and development of the polity: hierarchic, organic, and covenantal, with the first two leading to unitary states and the third to federal polities. All three models produce institutions, are informed by political cultures, and lead to political behavior characteristic, and at times even singular, to each. This article explores some of the institutional, cultural, and behavioral consequences of each of the three models and compares them. /// A l'ère de l'étatisme, ranger les Etats en deux catégories contrastées--Etats unitaires et Etats fédéraux--est pratique courante. Or, cette pratique a pour effet d'occulter les trois modèles de base qui ont guidé l'évolution des systèmes de gouvernement dans trois directions différentes: le modèle hiérarchique, le modèle organique, et le modèle contractuel. L'article compare ces trois modèles et décrit les conséquences de l'adoption de chacun d'entre eux. Show

Rights & Usage This item is part of a JSTOR Collection.  The modern day constitutional order is characterised by two major systems, the unitary and federal systems. The unitary system of government differs from the federal system in that all political power is embedded, entrenched and implanted in the national government, thus being a good recipe for dictatorship and authoritarianism.
Whereas under the federal system political power is shared between the national government and provincial governments. This paper will magnify South African, Ugandan and Zimbabwean systems of government and go at length to discuss the major systems in light of the said countries so as to differentiate and point out
similarities if ever they exist. You May Also Find These Documents Helpful
