This book was released on 2004-07-08 with total page 389 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The central role that good, effective and capable governance plays in the economic and social development of a country is now widely recognised. 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.

Download or read book Federalism and the Courts in Africa written by Yonatan T. Fessha and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2020-03-18 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume examines the design and impact of courts in African federal systems from a comparative perspective. Recent developments indicate that the previously stymied idea of federalism is now being revived in the constitutional arrangements of several African countries. A number of them jumped on the bandwagon of federalism in the early 1990s because it came to be seen as a means to facilitate development, to counter the concentration of power in a single governmental actor and to manage communal tensions. An important part of the move towards federalism is the establishment of courts that are empowered to umpire intergovernmental disputes. This edited volume brings together contributions that first discuss questions of design by focusing, in particular, on the organization of the judiciary and the appointment of judges in African federal systems. They then examine whether courts have had a rather centralizing or decentralizing impact on the operation of African federal systems. The book will be of interest to researchers and policy-makers in the areas of comparative constitutional law and comparative politics.

Download or read book Judicial Independence in Africa written by Wahab O. Egbewole and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the theoretical level, most constitutions in Africa normally provide for the concept of separation of powers with each arm of government assigned defined roles and functions. At the operational level, the Judiciary is regarded as the junior partner with the 'restrictions' on funding in terms of spending as it is usually the prerogative of the Executive branch of government to allocate funds to the Judiciary. To what extent is the check and or control of funding affect the operations of the courts? Can in exercise of the doctrine of separation of powers be expanded with regards to the appointment, discipline and removal of judicial officers? What should be the relationship between the two other arms of government and the Judiciary with regards to control of cases to be determined by the courts. All these issues find a way of determining how effective the Judiciary can be in any governmental arrangement and structure. It is particularly challenging in Africa where democracy in practice is still at the embryonic stage especially with regards to the political office holders. The African Union has in place the African Charter on Human and Peoples' Rights with a provision for an African Commission to determine disputes. How effective is this Commission and how independent is it? This book, Judicial Independence in Africa set out to interrogate some of these issues and was put together by scholars of varied and diverse experience in and outside university environment tracing the evolution of the Judiciary as an arm of government, its relationship with other arms of government and the media, the operations of the institution in relation to issues of human rights, gender and juvenile justice.

Download or read book The Role of the Chief Justice in Commonwealth Africa written by Kyela Leakey and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a comparative study of the leadership role of the Chief Justice as head of the judiciary through a decade of change, up to 2009, in South Africa, Ghana and Kenya. It draws on a conceptual framework developed from Burns's theory of transformational leadership and the "dynamics of the leadership process", and other scholarship on leadership ethics. The constitutional, legal and political structures surrounding the office of Chief Justice are analysed alongside empirical data gathered from interviews. It addresses three main questions. How do we understand the leadership role of the Chief Justice in Africa? How is this role evolving? What consequences does the distinction between "judicial" and "administrative" functions have for leadership in the judiciary? The study finds, first, that the leadership role of the Chief Justice includes intellectual leadership, administrative leadership, and acting as the representative of the judiciary. Second, the role of the Chief Justice is shifting from one of headship to one of leadership: Chief Justices are expected to be the visible, accountable leaders of the third arm of government. Third, recognising the Chief Justice as leader of the third arm of government raises questions about the usefulness of retaining the distinction between judicial and administrative functions to divide responsibility for court administration between the judiciary and executive. For Chief Justices to lead effectively, they must be free to make decisions on all matters relating to the operation of the judiciary. This need not require immersion in the daily minutiae of court administration. Instead, practices in South Africa and Ghana suggest that leadership could involve collaborating with, delegating to and consulting relevant "constituents" of the Chief Justice's leadership. This would be consistent with a transformational leadership approach, which it is here argued is the most appropriate form of leadership for the judiciary.

Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of Comparative Foreign Relations Law written by Curtis A. Bradley and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2019-06-07 with total page 992 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Oxford Handbook ambitiously seeks to lay the groundwork for the relatively new field of comparative foreign relations law. Comparative foreign relations law compares and contrasts how nations, and also supranational entities (for example, the European Union), structure their decisions about matters such as entering into and exiting from international agreements, engaging with international institutions, and using military force, as well as how they incorporate treaties and customary international law into their domestic legal systems. The legal materials that make up a nation's foreign relations law can include constitutional law, statutory law, administrative law, and judicial precedent, among other areas. This book consists of 46 chapters, written by leading authors from around the world. Some of the chapters are empirically focused, others are theoretical, and still others contain in-depth case studies. In addition to being an invaluable resource for scholars working in this area, the book should be of interest to a wide range of lawyers, judges, and law students. Foreign relations law issues are addressed regularly by lawyers working in foreign ministries, and globalization has meant that domestic judges, too, are increasingly confronted by them. In addition, private lawyers who work on matters that extend beyond their home countries often are required to navigate issues of foreign relations law. An increasing number of law school courses in comparative foreign relations law are also now being developed, making this volume an important resource for students as well. Comparative foreign relations law is a newly emerging field of study and teaching, and this volume is likely to become a key reference work as the field continues to develop.
