Critical Investigation of Civil Conflict:

Reconstructing the Crisis of Democratic Constitutionalism in Africa

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The theoretical but empirically grounded analysis of contemporary civil conflict is path-breaking in its appropriation of the cutting-edge interdisciplinary approach of critical social theory. It systematically combines the anti-colonial discourses of Franz Fanon, Albert Memmi, and Amilcar Cabral, on the one hand,and the social philosophy of John Hobbes,and Niccolo Machiavelli, on the other. This book is a critique of historical materialism, and draws on the Kolberg and Piaget's Developmental theories as adapted by the theory of communicative action and discourse theory of law and democracy. This work is considered a cutting edge contribution to the discourses of political development, and African civil conflicts. The "research is having a very good impact," opined the Chief Author (Hon.) Global Journals Inc (US). Based on this work, the Author is now considered an "expert in this field (of political development.)" Canadian Journal of Politics and Law.
