Law and Revolution: Legitimacy and Constitutionalism After the Arab Spring (Oxford Constitutional Theory)
De (autor) Nimer Sultanyen Limba Engleză Paperback – 07 Feb 2020
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.

Recenzii
Nimer
Sultany's
Law
and
Revolution
offers
a
long
overdue
corrective
to
a
canon
of
legal
theory
that
gives
African
and
Asian
experiences
short
shrift.
It
likewise
poses
a
serious
challenge
to
strands
of
area
studies
that,
for
all
their
claims
of
superseding
orientalism,
continue
to
approach
entire
regions
in
the
Global
South
as
mere
sources
of
empirical
data
rather
than
dynamic
sites
possessing
generative
theoretical
capacity.
But
there
is
much
more
to
thisexceedingly
important
book
than
introducing
legal
theorists
to
the
Middle
East
or
bringing
legal
theory
to
Middle
East
studies.
Perhaps
it
could
be
best
characterized
as
a
work
of
epistemological
reversal,
utilizing
a
deep
reading
of
the
Arab
Spring
to
critique
conceptual
orthodoxies.
It is hard to be too effusive in one's praise for this book. It is groundbreaking for several reasons: first, it removes constitutional politics in the Arab world from some exotic margin of constitutional studies and places it in the center of cutting-edge debates about the relationship of revolution to rule of law, the rule of law and legitimacy, and constituent power and constituted power, showing how the Arab experience both enriches constitutional theory and isenriched by it; second, its theoretical sophistication is unmatched by any other work in the field of Arab constitutional politics; and, third, it takes seriously the contributions of Arab constitutional lawyers themselves by incorporating their arguments and analysis into the structure of the bookinstead of treating them simply as derivative authors with nothing relevant to contribute to constitutional theory.
... a well-timed and excellent contribution to the subject areas of constitutional theory and Arab legal studies. It will serve as a springboard for further systematic and comparative research in the field for years to come.
Law and Revolution by Nimer Sultany will give your brain an excellent summer workout. ... Seeking to unchain thinking patterns from social-political change, this is a must read for lawyers and politicians.
Nimer Sultany's book tells us just what we don't want to hear. He does so by taking a philosophical hammer to a range of central concepts in constitutional thought and practice ... Sultany tells us that settled understandings of concepts such as constituent power, legitimacy, revolution, and legality lie somewhere between innocent myth and devious distortion ... In a masterful study, Sultany dissects the theory of each of these ideas before illustrating how they failto map onto the complex events in multiple nations during the Arab Spring. As a specimen of critical constitutional theory the book is first rate. As a study pulling the legal curtain back on constitutionally significant events during the Arab Spring, it is riveting. And as an in-depth bookcombining both of these things, it is incontestably in the front rank of constitutional scholarship.
This is a magisterial telling of the tale of legal political ideas in the tragedy of the countries of the Arab Spring. Sultany makes us see country by country that popular sovereignty, constitutionalism, constituent power, the rule of law, judicial independence, and many more, were abstractions that couldn't deliver what they promised in the way of guidance, normative judgment, or even clear meaning. For all its sadness, this is a brilliant account, full of lessonsfor a next time sure to come.
This study foregrounds Arab Spring experiences to reconsider theories on legitimacy, revolution, legality, and constitutionalism in an examination of the role of law and constitutions. It is a pleasure to read an account that offers so much empirically-grounded theoretical insight from experiences in Arab states by way of correction to, or development of, existing mainstream scholarship in these areas.
Drawing on a wide range of political and constitutional thought, Nimer Sultany uses 'laws deeply ingrained incoherence' as a probe to destabilize familiar dichotomies-such as reform/revolution and continuity/disruption-in theorizing about constitutions, revolutions, and legitimacy. His case studies of Egypt, Tunisia, and other nations caught up in the Arab Spring confirm his perspective's contribution to constitutional theory.
