Forty-one different African states have adopted over fifty-seven new constitutions since 1989; yet few of these have become foundations for democracy.Wing examines democratic development in Africa from a new angle. She moves away from the barren fields of democratic transition and consolidation, to the more relevant and process-oriented framework of producing citizens and legitimacy through constitution-making and continuing dialogue. The author uses her case study of Mali to make broader, innovative arguments about the democratic process in Africa. Her empirical findings are detailed new contributions, and they lead to important theoretical assertions about general issues of legitimization, constitutionalism and participation.This book explores the process by which constitutions and democratic institutions are constructed. Wing focuses on how innovative constitutional dialogues involving participation, negotiation, and recognition of groups previously excluded from political decision-making may be the key to a legitimate constitution.
