- Description
- The title of my Professorial Inaugural Lecture is ‘Revolutionary Overthrow of Constitutional Orders in Africa’. It is a subject at the intersection of three disciplines: jurisprudence and legal philosophy, constitutional law and power politics, and civil-military relations, i.e. military security policy which is one aspect of national security policy.2 The subject is of interest in at least four aspects: (i) it problematises the inescapable question of governance in the African continent; (ii) it challenges the democratization agenda in Africa - how does one democratize not only political governance but also the instruments of violence in the state? (iii) it challenges African constitutional lawyers and policy makers to seek a constitutional model that addresses the enduring menace of the power of the gun in African affairs and the changing role of the military in African politics; and (iv) it underscores national security and sovereignty concerns.
