Two articles in the last Issue (Winter 1990) and an accompanying article in this Issue examine the relationships between U.S. Africanists and U.S. policy-makers from the perspective of “players” in the policy process. All these articles are based mainly upon interviews with current and former U.S. government officials and with experienced scholars who regularly participate in policy affairs.
Michael Bratton is Associate Professor and Reinhard Heinisch is Graduate Assistant in the Department of Political Science, Michigan State University. David Wiley is Professor of Sociology and Director of the African Studies Center at the same university. Thanks are due to Richard Klein, Mark Schafer, and Andrew Bruch for data coding and entry, to Laura Wheeler for supervising the national mailing of the questionnaire, to Chris Poma and Marian Stall for secretarial support, and to Christine Root for substantial comment and editing. Each person exercised such exemplary care and intelligence in their appointed tasks that any blunders in the text can only be attributed to the authors.
