REDESM is pleased to announce that the Arab Association of Constitutional Law (AACL) has officially released Issue 05 of the Journal of Constitutional Law in the Middle East and North Africa (JCL-MENA).
This special issue focuses on this theme: “The Concept of the Civic State in the Middle East and North Africa: Between Constitutional Text and Practice.”
Edited by Dr. Reem Turkmani and Dr. Tamara El Khoury, this edition examines the multi-faceted concept of the civic state (al-dawla al-madaniyya) and how it is invoked by constitutional drafters, protest movements, and public authorities across the region.
Leading scholars and experts reflect on its intellectual genealogy and constitutional implications across several countries, including Syria, Lebanon, Egypt, and Morocco.
JCL-MENA is a peer-reviewed, bilingual journal managed by the AACL. This special issue is a joint publication with the “Legitimacy and Civicness in the Arab World” research project at the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE), supported by the Carnegie Corporation of New York.
