Abstract

ABSTRACT Social emergencies of different kinds are common in Africa. Violent protests and secessionist agitations, terrorism and insurgencies, coups and conflicts, climate change and droughts, conflict and climate-induced internal displacement, drug/human trafficking, and lately the Covid-19 pandemic have ravaged the continent. This has raised the question of how African legislatures deal with crises; how they perform their statutory functions during crises, and the issues that shape their operation during such times. This editorial introduces the special edition on ‘African Legislatures in Social Emergencies: Challenges and Outcomes’ and provides an overview of its collection of interesting articles.

期刊介绍： The Theory and Practice of Legislation aims to offer an international and interdisciplinary forum for the examination of legislation. The focus of the journal, which succeeds the former title Legisprudence, remains with legislation in its broadest sense. Legislation is seen as both process and product, reflection of theoretical assumptions and a skill. The journal addresses formal legislation, and its alternatives (such as covenants, regulation by non-state actors etc.). The editors welcome articles on systematic (as opposed to historical) issues, including drafting techniques, the introduction of open standards, evidence-based drafting, pre- and post-legislative scrutiny for effectiveness and efficiency, the utility and necessity of codification, IT in legislation, the legitimacy of legislation in view of fundamental principles and rights, law and language, and the link between legislator and judge. Comparative and interdisciplinary approaches are encouraged. But dogmatic descriptions of positive law are outside the scope of the journal. The journal offers a combination of themed issues and general issues. All articles are submitted to double blind review.
