本文总结了我三十年来对非洲原始公共机构的研究，特别是在加纳北部和毗邻的伏打盆地地区。我要从一开始就强调，这些机构是非洲人发明的。几个世纪以来，公职人员在人民的支持和控制下，设法领导、管理和保卫至少由几个村庄组成的地区的人口，有时甚至达到几十万人口。
This paper summarises three decades of my studies of original African public institutions, especially those in northern Ghana and adjacent areas of the Voltaic basin. From the outset I wish to stress that these institutions were invented by the Africans. The incumbents of offices, supported but also controlled by the people, managed for centuries to lead, administer and defend populations in areas comprising at least a number of villages but reaching sometimes up to populations of several hundred thousand.
