The article examines the issue of decision-making in African systems and treats the problematic of to what level it can emulate the new model of state ruling that was imported either from European countries or from other developed countries in general. In this context, the study examines the most important features and characteristics of African decision-making since the formation of national states after independence, through the line of evolution of its institutions from one hand, and the tense relationship between the traditional institutions and the modernization process highly affected by external condition from another hand. This paper argues that African systems are moving towards institutional mechanisms in their decision-making, and are giving out their traditional practices, while it acknowledges that this process does know an uneven relapses that vary from one country to another due to the resistance of the elites, which are losing privileges and seeks to stop it by all means.
