Additional text

'For a decade, Zaid Al-Ali has had a front row seat to the most turbulent period of constitutional reform the Arab world has ever seen. We could have no better a terrific guide to understanding the successes, as well as the seldom-examined failures, of constitution-making in the region. This volume will be an essential resource for any scholar of comparative constitutions.'
