Using the Commonwealth countries of eastern and southern Africa, this book analyses some of the key constitutional issues in the process of developing, strengthening and consolidating the capacity of states to ensure the good governance of their peoples. Utilising comparative material, the book seeks to draw lessons, both positive and negative, about the problems of constitutionalism in the region and, in doing so, critically addresses the legal issues involved in seeking to make constitutions 'work' in practice. 517 3 $aComparative Constitutionalism & Good Governance in the Commonwealth 606 $aConstitutional law$zAfrica, East 606 $aConstitutional law$zAfrica, Southern 606 $aConstitutional law$zCommonwealth countries 607 $aAfrica, East$xPolitics and government 607 $aAfrica, Southern$xPolitics and government 607 $aCommonwealth countries$xPolitics and government 615 0$aConstitutional law 615 0$aConstitutional law 615 0$aConstitutional law 676 $a342.6802 700 $aHatchard$b John$0572299 702 $aNdulo$b Muna 702 $aSlinn$b Peter 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910457597803321 996 $aComparative constitutionalism and good governance in the Commonwealth$91906016 997 $aUNINA
