Peoples versus states

Description:

"The issues addressed in this book provide new insight into the way we conceive, reflect and study the problems of political transformation and constitution-making in Africa. The study provides a refreshingly in-depth analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of constitutional provisions for managing the challenges of race, religion, ethnicity, citizenship, civil liberties and civil-military relations in Africa's transitional democracies. Tracing emerging trends in constitution making, it blends the theory of constitutional democracy with case studies, and defines the imperative of social justice."--BOOK JACKET.
