'Constitutionalism in Africa. A Reading-Book'



Using his theoretical programme made up of the comparative and cultural-scientific approach, the 'open society of constitutional interprets', the 'Textstufenparadigma' and the 'context thesis', the author looks at Africa from a constitutional perspective. On the basis of a review on various constitutional aspects (preambles, basic values, national symbols et al.), he examines the developing african constitutionalism and puts his conderations into the context of an universal constitutional theory.
