 onization and Public Policy\, February 25\, 2022 at 9 a.m. EST as part of 
 Black History Month at the School.\n\nThis panel aims to unpack decoloniza
 tion as a conceptual framework in terms of its capacity to disrupt mainstr
 eam approaches to public policy\, applied especially to areas of constitut
 ionalism and the South African experience. Reflections on historical and t
 he renewed contemporary movements of decolonization in the global South an
 d lessons learned for multicultural states: can public policy\, operating 
 in ‘classic’ state structures and international law paradigms\, truly be i
 nfluenced by decolonization? What are the competing or complimentary dimen
