Learning outcomes
The course intends to examine the legal systems of the world that are not part of the Western legal tradition, in general, and on African constitutionalism, in particular. The course will use the comparative legal method, which is useful in cross-national analyses, and will focus on the interrelations between non-Western legal systems and Euro-Atlantic constitutionalism. Therefore, the course will start with the definition of the concept of tradition, which governs the constitutional narrative in the different legal systems of the world. Thus, the constitutional narrative resorts to the concept and to the institutes that are typical of a specific legal tradition in order to confer legitimization to constitutional and legal changes in the different legal families. The lectures will shed light on the non-Western legal tradition by examining the sources of law, the frame of government, and the protection of minorities
