The functioning of political institutions in Congo-Kinshasa

The greatest originality of this book is based on the effort of contractualisation made by the author both in terms of production tools and analysis of field data, without forgetting an epistemological and edifying contribution. This book addresses on the theoretical level, the subject under review is undoubtedly of great interest to the Congolese people; it touches the crisis that the country has gone through during the past legislature (2006-2011), and the post-electoral crisis of the elections of November 28, 2011, organized in a very particular context and surrounded by several concerns. Given that the functioning of institutions is of considerable importance, it is appropriate to dissect the rules of the political game that influence the conflicts of legitimacy in our country and for which the Congolese people have suffered so much. From a scientific point of view, it was our concern to understand the primary will of the constituent in the way the institutions of the Democratic Republic of Congo-Kinshasa should function, as established by the constitution of 18 February 2006.
