Peoples versus states

minorities at risk in the new century

Edición de la obra Peoples versus states

"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.
