Constituents Before Assembly - Participation, Deliberation, and Representation in the Crafting of New Constitutions - A. Carl Levan - Paperback Bog -
Brand: Cambridge University Press
Description
This book demonstrates that new constitutions can, but often do not, improve a nation's level of democracy. The authors explore patterns of constitution-making with cases from Africa, Latin America, and the Middle East to show that participation is a better predictor of levels of democracy than the constitution itself.
