How can fragmented, divided societies that are not immediately
compatible with centralised statehood best adjust to state
structures? This book employs both comparative constitutional law
and comparative politics, as it proposes the idea of a 'constituent
process', whereby public participation in constitution making plays
a positive role in state building. This can help to foster a sense
of political community and produce a constitution that enhances the
legitimacy and effectiveness of state institutions because a
liberal-local hybrid can emerge to balance international liberal
practices with local customary ones. This book represents a
sustained attempt to examine the role that public participation has
played during state building and the consequences it has had for
the performance of the state. It is also the first attempt to
conduct a detailed empirical study of the role played by the
liberal-local-hybrid approach in state building.
