In June 2013, the International Institute for Democracy and Electoral Assistance (International IDEA) and Constitutional Transitions published the Consolidating the Arab Spring Working Paper Series, as a response to the imperative for targeted expertise in support of constitution building in the wake of the Arab Spring. Each paper addresses a specific question of constitutional design. The Working Paper Series reflects recent constitutional developments in the region, particularly those related to Tunisia’s third draft Constitution (22 April 2013, English translation available here). Each paper addresses a specific question of constitutional design, such as the fight against corruption; semi-presidentialism; decentralization; fundamental rights; the judiciary; the legislature; and security sector reform.
The series is edited by Zaid Al-Ali (International IDEA) and Richard Stacey (Constitutional Transitions). The contributions in the Series are:
