Examines, in a comparative and interdisciplinary approach, seven national experiences of constitution building following the Arab Spring.
The book examines seven national experiences of constitution building after the Arab Spring, namely those of Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, Egypt, Syria, and Jordan. The book focuses on constitution-drafting, separation of powers, constitutional justice, and religion, women and non-Muslims within the framework of citizenship.How were post-Arab Spring constitutions drafted? What are the most significant elements of continuity and change within the new constitutional texts? What purposes are these texts designed to serve? To what extent have constitutional provisions been enforced? Have the principles of constitutionalism been strengthened compared to the past? These are some of the key questions Francesco Biagi addresses. Constitution Building After the Arab Spring. A Comparative Perspective examines seven national experiences of constitution building in the Arab world following the 2011 uprisings, namely those of Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya, Egypt, Syria, and Jordan. This interdisciplinary book, based largely on the author's own work and research in the region, compares these seven national experiences through four analytical frameworks: constitution-drafting and constitutional reform processes; separation of powers and forms of government; constitutional justice; and religion, women and non-Muslims within the framework of citizenship.
