During the last decade of the 20th century, Africa has been marked
by a "constitutional wind" which has blown across the continent
giving impetus to constitutional reforms designed to introduce
constitutionalism and good governance. One of the main features of
these processes has been the promotion of public participation,
encouraged by both civil society and the international community.
This book aims to provide a systematic overview of participation
forms and mechanisms across Africa, and a critical understanding of
the impact of public participation in constitution-making
processes, digging beneath the rhetoric of public participation as
being at the heart of any successful transition towards democracy
and constitutionalism. Using case studies from Central African
Republic, Egypt, Kenya, Libya, Malawi, Morocco, Senegal, Somalia,
South Africa, South Sudan, Tanzania, Tunisia, Zambia and Zimbabwe,
the book investigates various aspects of participatory constitution
making: from conception, to processes, and specific contents that
trigger ambivalent dynamics in such processes. The abstract
glorification of public participation is questioned as theoretical
and empirical perspectives are used to explain what public
participation does in concrete terms and to identify what lessons
might be drawn from those experiences. This is a valuable resource
for academics, researchers and students with an interest in
politics and constitution building in Africa, as well as experts
working in national offices, international organizations or in
national and international NGOs.
