A widespread prejudice too often consists in presenting the rules of law as a kind of artifice condemned to oscillate between mimicry and ineffectiveness, between extroversion and disembodiment.<br> To counter this popular misconception, the author gives ten examples, evoking ten themes touching on major legal issues, in which Africa has created, refined, enriched, or sublimated principles or institutions. Ten examples through which, while remaining firmly within the realms of modernity, the African continent can certainly claim a kind of precedence and, perhaps, exemplarity. <br> Firmly rejecting any vertical or monopolistic rationale, the book is based on the conviction that the development of law takes place in a horizontal mode of osmosis, hybridisation, and polycentrism. It is an exhortation to look at what is being done elsewhere, an invitation to listen and to explore new horizons.    40uhttps://www.editions-harmattan.fr/catalogue/couv/9782336503882r.jpg2Image de couverture40uhttps://www.harmatheque.com/downloadebook/97823365038822Télécharger le livre au format PDF40uhttps://www.harmatheque.com/readebook/97823365038822Lire ce livre en ligne
