Constitutional Review in the Middle East and North Africa

Dr. Anja Schoeller-Schletter

doi:10.5771/9783748912019

Zusammenfassung

Verfassungsgerichtsbarkeit und Grundrechtsschutz ist mit dem Arabischen Frühling in zahlreichen Ländern des Nahen Ostens in den Fokus der Reformdebatten gerückt. Überschattet von Schlagzeilen zu militärischen Konflikten wurden tiefgreifende Reformen der letzten Jahrzehnte im Bereich der Verfassungsgerichtsbarkeit bisher wenig beachtet.

Als Pionierarbeit auf diesem Gebiet bietet dieses Buch grundlegende Erkenntnisse aus erster Hand zu den Errungenschaften und Herausforderungen der Verfassungsgerichtsbarkeit im Nahen Osten und Nordafrika, wobei Gemeinsamkeiten und Unterschiede innerhalb der Region herausgearbeitet und mit Entwicklungen außerhalb der Region in Verbindung gebracht werden.

Gegliedert entlang zentraler Querschnittsthemen – richterliche Unabhängigkeit, Grundrechtsschutz, Wahlrechtskontrolle und Religionsrecht in der Verfassungsordnung – untersucht die Publikation zentrale Entwicklungen der Verfassungskontrolle in der Region, zugrunde liegende Modelle, Herausforderungen und Trends.
