Abstract:
This book examines through case studies of Bolivia, Ecuador, Kenya, Zambia and Zimbabwe how constitution-making can be an inclusive, democratic process - engaging both political parties and civic society. The case studies focus on the key role political parties that play in constitutional reform. Through the cases, we learn important lessons about building multi-stakeholder platforms, about cross party exchange and about the correlation between a nation's constitution and the condition of its democracy.
