Ten years ago, millions of protesters in over a dozen countries took to the streets to demand radical change. In many cases, their purpose was to force long standing dictators from office and to establish a democracy. In others, they demanded reform and clear action against corruption. Each country set a path of its own, but if there was one point of agreement between all actors it was that constitutional reform was an absolute necessity. What followed was the greatest concentration of constitutional reform efforts in the world since the end of the Cold War. Through this process, twelve out of the region's twenty countries either replaced their constitutions or amended them within just a few years, some more than once. In some countries, dictators who were about to be toppled promised constitutional reform, before ultimately ceding power to allow others to manage that process on their own. In others, chief executives organised constitutional reform efforts themselves, always carefully framing the scope of reform to a few limited issues. In addition, at least two other countries were deeply impacted by the protest movement and seriously contemplated constitutional reform efforts of their own"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Constitutional law $z Arab countries. 650 0 $a Constitutional law (Islamic law) $z Arab countries. 650 0 $a Law reform $z Arab countries. 650 7 $a Constitutional law. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00875797 650 7 $a Constitutional law (Islamic law) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00875848 650 7 $a Law reform. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00994081 651 7 $a Arab countries. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01240128 776 08 $i Online version : $a Al-Ali, Zaid. $t Arab Constitutionalism $d Cambridge, United Kingdom ; New York, NY : Cambridge University Press, 2021 $z 9781108570824 $w (DLC) 2020056465 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220526020304.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F30A2FC4477411EC81CA9FE82DECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
