520 _aWith discussion on the perspective and conceptual framework of `environmental turbulence', the author discusses environmental turbulence (covering its three forms - economic, political, and socio-political-cultural) - in Africa. He then discusses the impact of this turbulence on African Civil Services (ACS), spanning various African States, to show damaged infrastructure, collapse or insulation against reform of ACS systems, and legitimising of resistance to reform under unstable governance. He concludes the discussion suggesting certain lessons which perhaps can be learnt with advantage from the African case. - Reproduced
