Comparative constitutional law has a long pedigree, but the
comparative study of constitution-making has emerged and taken form
only in the last quarter-century. While much of the initial impetus
came from the study of the American and French constituent
assemblies in the late eighteenth century, this volume exemplifies
the large comparative scope of current research. The contributors
discuss constituent assemblies in South East Asia, North Africa and
the Middle East, Latin America, and in Nordic countries. Among the
new insights they provide is a better understanding of how
constituent assemblies may fail, either by not producing a document
at all or by adopting a constitution that fails to serve as a
neutral framework for ordinary politics. In a theoretical
afterword, Jon Elster, an inspirational thinker on the current
topic, offers an analysis of the micro-foundations of
constitution-making, with special emphasis on the role of
crises-generated passions.
