Title Constitutionalism in multi- ethnic countries: land and natural resources as the cynosure of conflict and harmony nigeria, kenya and ethiopia
Summary Many African countries have a culturally, religiously and linguistically diversified population. In many instances this diversity is woven not only to individual relations but also to the public spectrum. As a result, the continent frequently experienced political upheaval and bloody conflicts which erupted because of ethnic tensions. Economic reasons such as access to land are one of the major causes of tensions, if not the sole. Amidst such events constitutionalism gained the momentum in the political leadership matrix. This thesis looks at the challenge ethnicity poses on constitutionalism in general and in relation to access to land and natural resources. It also examines available solutions of constitutionalism for ethnic economic inequalities.
