Duplicitous Constitutions

Mehr zum Buch

The book explores the contrasting nature of constitutions in the Arab and Islamic world compared to Western traditions. While Western constitutions aim to protect citizens' rights and limit rulers' power, those in the Arab and Islamic context are often merely symbolic, introduced by undemocratic leaders and frequently disregarded. It highlights the duplicity of these constitutions, presenting examples of both civil and religious frameworks to illustrate the inherent issues within this political landscape.
