Institutions

Writing Constitutions intends to serve as a practical manual for those writing constitutions or interested in their design. It is the first systematic and universal approach to coherently capture concepts and contents of a modern constitution. Volume I breaks each constitutional mechanism into components and offers detailed designs to draft a constitutional clause. This provides lawmakers with the necessary toolkit for writing constitutions and empowers them to strengthen democracies.

Writing Constitutions comes in three volumes:

• Volume I: Institutions (abstracts already displayed)
• Volume II: Fundamental Rights (abstracts forthcoming)
• Volume III: Constitutional Principles (abstracts forthcoming)

Volume I

• Provides a comprehensive and structured overview of international constitution writing
• Contains over 200 tables and apportions information into comparable segments
• Delivers hundreds of examples of over 175 constitutions and is therefore attractive across the majority of jurisdictions
