Arab Basic Laws and the Prospects for Accountable Government (S U N Y Series in Middle Eastern Studies)

Edición de la obra Constitutions in a Nonconstitutional World

The collapse of authoritarian regimes and the global resurgence of liberal democracy has led to a renewed interest in constitutions and constitutionalism among scholars and political activists alike. This book uses the Arab experience to explain the appeal of constitutional documents to authoritarian regimes and assesses the degree to which such constitutions can be used in the effort to make the regimes more accountable.--
