520 |a "The chapters in this edited volume open up new vistas in the debate about how we could fashion a consensual democracy that minimizes the adversarial element of the majoritarian democracy African countries inherited from their colonial masters. The first chapter summarises the consensus debate as it currently stands. This chapter atones for what strangers to this field have missed up until this book. The second chapter acknowledges that the advancement of consensus democracy as unanimity democracy is out of favour, and explores the potential for advancing consensus democracy as a democracy of compromise. This is followed by a chapter exploring the implications of Wiredu's consensual proposal for the building of resistance movements. The volume also features an interesting piece seeking to demonstrate that Wiredu's consensus proposal is consistent with his views about the relativity of truth, and how we should handle this relativity. But there are chapters demonstrating that the non party system proposed by Kwasi Wiredu is unsuitable for practice, and other chapters tracing the problems associated with transferring consensus-supporting values such as communalism into the contemporary Africa setting"--  |c Provided by publisher.
