Stephen Ellis Annual Lecture by Prof. Muna Ndulo: Ethnicity, diversity, inclusivity and constitution

In this year’s Stephen Ellis lecture, Muna Ndulo, Professor of Law at Cornell University, Ithaca, NY, USA, will contend that a poorly designed constitution can hinder inclusiveness and promote ethnic grievances and conflicts. He will identify key issues that must be addressed in the constitution making process to promote inclusiveness and a sense of citizenship and ownership of the political process in a diverse nation state. Unless African states manage diversity and build institutions that are inclusive, promote economic development, stability, and enfranchisement and consolidate political harmony, the threat of disintegration will persist and the state will remain challenged by those who feel marginalized and who desire to manage their own affairs.
