In this enlightening book, John Mukum Mbaku analyses the main
challenges of constitutional design and the construction of
governance institutions in Africa today. He argues that the central
issues are: providing each country with a constitutional order that
is capable of successfully managing sectarian conflict and
enhancing peaceful coexistence; protecting the rights of citizens ?
including those of minorities; minimizing the monopolization of
political space by the majority (to the detriment of minorities);
and, effectively preventing government impunity. Mbaku offers a
comprehensive analysis of various approaches to the management of
diversity, and shows how these approaches can inform Africa?s
struggle to promote peace and good governance. He explores in depth
the existence of dysfunctional and anachronistic laws and
institutions inherited from the colonial state, and the process
through which laws and institutions are formulated or constructed,
adopted, and amended. A close look at the constitutional
experiences of the American Republic provides important lessons for
constitutional design and constitutionalism in Africa.
Additionally, comparative politics and comparative constitutional
law also provide important lessons for the management of diversity
in African countries. Mbaku recommends state reconstruction through
constitutional design as a way for each African country to provide
itself with laws and institutions that reflect the realities of
each country, including the necessary mechanisms and tools for the
protection of the rights of minorities. From students and scholars
to NGOs, lawyers and policymakers, this unique and judicious book
is an essential tool for all those seeking to understand and
improve governance and development in Africa.
