After the 2011 uprisings started in Tunisia and swept across the Arab region, more than a dozen countries amended their constitutions, the greatest concentration of constitutional reform processes since the end of the Cold War. This book provides a detailed account and analysis of all of these developments. Individual accounts are provided of eight different reform processes (including Tunisia, Egypt, Libya, Yemen and Sudan), with particular focus on the historical context, the political dynamics, the particular process that each country followed and the substantive outcome. Zaid Al-Ali deconstructs the popular demands that were made in 2011 and translates them into a series of specific actions that would have led to freer societies and a better functioning state. A revolution did not take place in 2011, but it is inevitably part of the region's future and Arab Constitutionalism explores what that revolution could look like.

'Al-Ali has written the most comprehensive and sophisticated account on post-Arab Spring constitutionalism in the Middle East. In his valuable book, Al-Ali charts constitutional reforms across eight Arab cases. In remarkable detail, Al-Ali captures the debates, processes, and actual modifications of the constitutional reform efforts across these states. While advancements were made, Al-Ali argues that these constitutional changes did not match the revolutionary citizen demands of the Arab Spring.' Amaney A.
