Abstract:Two decades after Namibia's independence, this collective volume offers an intellectually diverse tapestry of reflective analysis and ideas on the state of constitutional democracy and jurisprudence in Namibia. The chapters have been organized under the rubric of three principal themes. In Section I, Constitutional Democracy and Good Governance, the historiography and construct of constitutional democracy and its implications for governance are explored. Section II, The Genesis of the Constitution of the Republic of Namibia, discusses the genesis of the constitution in the country, including its making, its regional and international context, and its antecedents. Section III, Challenges within the Namibian Constitution, addresses the legal philosophy that infused the constitution with meaning, and investigates the trajectory of constitutional development and its wider implications for State and nationbuilding. This section also focuses on a critical consideration of particular constitutional provisions and their formative role in a number of policy and legal domains, such as environmental rights and justice, the paradigm of equality and its actualization, and a consideration of intellectual property rights.
