Taking the Arab Spring as its case study, this book explores the
role of law and constitutions during societal upheavals, and
critically evaluates the different trajectories they could follow
in a revolutionary setting. It urges a rethinking of major
categories in political, legal, and constitutional theory in light
of the Arab Spring. The book is a novel and comprehensive
examination of the constitutional order that preceded and followed
the Arab Spring in Egypt, Tunisia, Libya, Morocco, Jordan, Algeria,
Oman, and Bahrain. Drawing on a wide range of primary sources,
including an in-depth analysis of recent court rulings in several
Arab countries, the book illustrates the contradictory roles of law
and constitutions. The book also contrasts the Arab Spring with
other revolutionary situations and demonstrates how the Arab Spring
provides a laboratory for examining scholarly ideas about
revolutions, legitimacy, legality, continuity, popular sovereignty,
and constituent power. With a new preface from the author
addressing developments in the Arab Spring.
