This volume analyses democratic governance, the rule of law and development in Africa. It is unique and timely. First, the theme and sub-themes were carefully selected to solicit quality chapters from academics, practitioners and graduate students on topical and contemporary issues in constitutional law, human rights, and democratic governance in Africa. The chapters were subjected to a single-blind peer review by experts and scholars in the relevant fields to ensure that high quality submissions are included. Due to the dearth of knowledge and studies on the chosen thematic areas, the publication will remain relevant after several years due to the timeless themes it covers. In this regard, this edited volume audits the progress of democratic consolidation, rule of law and development in Ghana with selected case studies from other African countries. This book is intended for higher education institutions (universities, institutes and centres), public libraries, general academics, practitioners and students of law, democracy, human rights and political science, especially those interested in African affairs. Maame Efua Addadzi-Koom is a lecturer of law at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, Kumasi, Ghana, and the Research and Innovation Lead at the Institute for African Women in Law, USA. Michael Addaney is a lecturer in planning and environmental policy at the Department of Planning and Sustainability of University of Energy and Natural Resources, Sunyani, Ghana, and Senior Research Associate at the Centre for Public Management and Governance at the University of Johannesburg, South Africa. Lydia A. Nkansah is an Associate Professor and Former Dean at the Faculty of Law, Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, Kumasi, Ghana.
