This book presents the case that liberal constitutionalism in the
global South is a legacy of colonialism and is inappropriate as a
means of securing effective peace in regions that have been subject
to recurrent conflict. The work demonstrates the failure of liberal
constitutionalism in guaranteeing peace in the postcolonial global
South. It develops an alternative, more compelling
constitutionalism for peacebuilding in conflicted regions. This is
based on constitutionalism that recognises plurality as a major
feature in the global South. Drawing on events in Nigeria, it
develops a constitutional model, based on Cognitive Justice, which
could deliver peace by addressing historic, conceptual, legal,
institutional and structural issues that have created social
inequality and injustice. The study also incorporates insights from
the development of plurinational constitutions in South America.
The book will be an invaluable resource for researchers, academics
and policy-makers with an interest in constitutional legal theory,
peacebuilding and postcolonial studies
