The contributions by leading observers of constitutionalism and African politics in the context of a global political and economic system provide a nuanced understanding of important themes in contemporary African politics: constitutionalism, democratic politics and governance, women’s rights, the African Union, securitization of development, civil society, and debates concerning global terrorism and the war on terror. As such, it will be of great interest to scholars, civil society organizations, and public policy makers interested in contemporary African politics.Contemporary African Political EconomyDemocracyAfrica—Politics and governmentPolitical theoryRegionalismConstitutional lawDemocracyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911050African Politicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911090Political Theoryhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/911010Regionalismhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/912050Constitutional Lawhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/R17028AfricaPolitics and governmentDemocracy.Africa—Politics and government.Political theory.Regionalism.Constitutional law.Democracy.African Politics.Political Theory.Regionalism.Constitutional Law.320.5096Sahle Eunice Nedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtBOOK9910255289703321Democracy, Constitutionalism, and Politics in Africa2205590UNINA
