Preventing and Combatting Corruption: Good Governance and Constitutional Law in Tunisia

By Juanita Olaya and Karen Hussmann

“Preventing and Combatting Corruption: Good Governance and Constitutional Law in Tunisia” approaches the pervasive problem of political corruption from the perspective of constitutional design, and considers how a constitution can set out principles, rights, institutions and mechanisms that prevent and combat corruption. The Working Paper uses the April 2013 draft of the Tunisian Constitution as the main reference for analysis, and takes into consideration the particularities of the Tunisian context and constitutional tradition.
