Reviews
Offers a historical overview to African constitutionalism that explains its many influences [including] illustrative examples from the constitutions of several jurisdictions, including Cape Verde, South Africa, Tunisia, Egypt, Burundi, Zambia, Botswana, Malawi, Cameroon, and many others. It provides a general overview of how the concept of the separation of powers manifests itself in African constitutions, as influenced by the American presidential system, the British parliamentary system, and the French 'hybrid' system ... The content is extensively annotated, providing citations to many other books and articles that researchers can use to perform a deeper dive into this subject. I am glad that Oxford University Press is publishing this series, and I am looking forward to exploring its future volumes as they are released. * Jennifer Allison, Librarian, Harvard Law School Library, Et Seq.
