Constitutional law in all its facets constitutes the core of this book. The first part deals with Mauritius' constitutional accession to independence and its historical, political, economic and social development. The second part compares the independence of constitutional judges and the independence of the judiciary in France, Germany and Mauritius. The third part revolves around economic and social rights included in Mauritius' catalogue of fundamental rights, pointing out the situation in Mauritius in terms of the protection of investments, private property, and social and economic rights, including the rights of minorities. The collaboration between French, German, Mauritian, Madagascan and Seychellois judges and researchers engaged in here demonstrates the relevance of dialogue between their supreme or constitutional courts. The fact that Mauritius' success is often attributed to its specific institutions also offers this study the opportunity to address the renewal of African constitutionalism by comparing the experiences and difficulties faced by African countries.
