Political Change and Constitutionalism in Africa
Routledge (Verlag)
978-0-367-02330-0 (ISBN)
The chapters provide a critical, conceptual framework to probe, interpret and understand the dimensions of current and impending challenges to constitutional government in the African continent. The contributors explain why deep inequalities and harsh repression persist in most transitional African countries, despite constitutionally guaranteed rights and the ongoing, practical efforts to expand participation through political liberalization. The book demonstrates the importance of sustaining in public confidence in democracy and provides provocative ideas about how to deal with new, prodigious configurations of power that are stubbornly resisting real institutional change.
Political Change and Constitutionalism in Africa will be of interest to scholars of African politics and constitutional politics.
Okon Akiba is Professor of Comparative and International Politics at York University, Toronto, Canada.
