This volume explores contemporary political developments in various parts of Africa in the age of democracy, constitutionalism, the securitization of development, and global terrorism. The contributions by leading observers of constitutionalism and African politics in the context of a global political and economic system provide a nuanced understanding of important themes in contemporary African politics: constitutionalism, democratic politics and governance, women's rights, the African Union, securitization of development, civil society, and debates concerning global terrorism and the war on terror. As such, it will be of great interest to scholars, civil society organizations, and public policy makers interested in contemporary African politics.

Eunice N. Sahle is Associate Professor in the Department of African, African American, and Diaspora Studies and in the Curriculum in Global Studies at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, USA, where she is also Fellow at the Center for Urban and Regional Studies.
