segmentary states

forms of STATE society, with a central political authority and specialized political institutions including administrative staff, but having an underlying 'segmentary’ structure (compare SEGMENTARY SOCIETIES), in which political allegiances are based on lineage groups, or on related forms of client-patron relations (see Southall, 1954). A segmentary structure, in which primary loyalty is to the lineage group rather than the state, tends to produce somewhat fragile state forms. Segmentary states were a common form of state in precolonial Africa.
