| | Polity IV Country Report 2003: Angola |
| | Ruling power in Angola is concentrated in the hands of the President and his Council of Ministers. | | | However, given that there is no set timetable for the return of electoral politics in Angola, President dos Santos could continue to be both head of state and chief of government indefinitely (President dos Santos dismissed his prime minister in 1998 and has yet to refill the post). | | | The military success of dos Santo's forces compelled UNITA to agree to a cease-fire and the establishment of an interim power-sharing government until the second round of the 1992 elections could be scheduled. |

| | Angola - Government and Politics - BACKGROUND |
| | A variety of interpretations of Marxist philosophy emerged during the 1950s and 1960s, a period when Western nations refused to pressure Portugal (a member of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization--NATO) to upgrade political life in its colonies. | | | Opportunities for economic advancement were apportioned according to racial stereotypes, and even in the 1960s schools were admitting barely more than 2 percent of the school-age African population each year. | | | This movement was quickly curtailed by the police, but people's power remained a popular symbol of the demand for political participation. |
