(Nico) Yemisi, Okunbolande A. UCTD Foreign policies Pluralistic societies Federalism Thesis (LLM (Human Rights and Democratisation in Africa)) -- University of Pretoria, 2010. A dissertation submitted to the Faculty of Law University of Pretoria, in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree Masters of Law (LLM in Human Rights and Democratisation in Africa). Prepared under the supervision of Prof. Nico Steytler, Faculty of Law, University of Western Cape, South Africa. 2010 Foreign policy has generally speaking been the traditional ‘responsibility of national governments’. This is particularly true of states with unitary systems of governments but is less true in federalist states.Federalist states are states which have adopted a system of government whereby ‘powers are divided and shared between constituent governments and a general government having certain nation-wide’ responsibilities’. Federalism is often adopted by pluralistic societies to ensure a system of uniformity while accommodating differences and to maintain national security and economic unity. By their nature, federalist states share responsibilities and powers between the central and constituent units. http://www.chr.up.ac.za/ Centre for Human Rights LLM 2011-06-09T12:45:40Z 2011-06-09T12:45:40Z 10-Oct Mini Dissertation * Yemisi, OA 2010, 'Comparative analysis of the role of sub-national parliaments in international human rights law in Nigeria and South Africa', University of Pretoria, Faculty of Law, Centre of Human Rights. http://hdl.handle.net/2263/16759 en LLM Dissertations Centre for Human Rights University of Pretoria application/pdf University of Pretoria |
