Tripod Political System: A governance model for nations failed by democracy
The Tripod political system - A governance model for nations failed by democracy is an ambitious political system created to overcome the shortcomings of democracy, which the author ingeniously traces to voting, one of the major findings of this book. The writing is intellectually driven, assertive and clearly opinionated, with a strong drive to challenge and replace existing democratic systems. The book's distinctive quality is its confidence and clarity of thought. It does not, like many works of the same kind, sit passively within conventional political commentary. Instead, it attempts to build a complete system of governance, with its own terms, structure and internal logic. That gives the work its outstanding character and makes it more than a simple critique of democracy.
The writing style is energetic and argumentative. It uses political examples, historical
references, philosophical ideas, African governance traditions, literary allusions, and
contemporary figures to build its case. This gives the book range and seriousness. It contains many strong ideas, and it develops its central thesis firmly and persuasively. It belongs to serious political thought, governance reform and public affairs. The book feels bold, intelligent and credible, appealing to readers interested in governance models, leadership reform, institutional change, in short, politics. 'This book is a useful addition to the discourse on governance in Africa, as the so-called Western democracies continue to falter in many countries, leading to civil wars and conflict.' - Prof. P. L. O. Lumumba
